In 1983, the Romanian artist Daniel Spoerri buried the remains of a banquet with a hundred guests on the outskirts of Paris. In 2016, when archaeologists dug up the vestiges, the director tries to understand Spoerri’s artistic gesture and goes in search of his memories and his country. A banquet as a challenge to death, an ode to the banal moments of life.
