Sinopsis

A coast somewhere in the distance, an arrival by boat, and some singing, a distant insistent lament. These opening shots introduce the outline of the film: a crossing of the Mediterranean from one shore to the other. A crossing by Axelle, who first took the trip as a young schoolteacher, right after the independence of Algeria. From one shore to another, and from one time to another, as a gesture of loyalty to a friend she knew back then.
