A shadowy figure wanders the streets of Nazi-occupied Paris in search of lost memory. He manages to gather a few fragments so that others might reconstruct the long journey of forgetting. French writer Patrick Modiano dedicated much of his life to wandering through Paris and through a past he never knew, that of the Nazi occupation, in search of a place where reality and fiction collide and come to form strange shadows, what we call memories. This film leads the viewer into poetic wandering.

Cécile O. Carvallo takes photographs. Felipe Vega makes films.
