Synopsis
On a feverish night in Morocco, a child senses a ghost, a woman who has come from the sea, coming home after a long political exile. A silent tale, a bodyless voice and visions, mingle in the dark of the night and the fever. The child of the present and the political refugee coming home are now one, travelling together to a strange building, appearing, to be her lost memories. History of decolonisation and forgotten political fights appear and disappear. But a new struggle, the « arab spring » of Morocco, flood the past.
