François and Bianca have almost lost touch when they are reunited by the death of their younger brother, Tahir. As they wander beside the lake where they spent some of their childhood and where Tahir had settled, snippets from the past, which they thought they could forget, resurface in them both: the Algerian War, the Veil Affair in 1989 and the sudden departure of their mother, leaving them to cope alone. Assigned to identities as vague as they are suffocating, with the constant need to state who they are, claimed by factions and forcibly positioned on the front line, these slow of hearts are so eager to be loved that they become distrustful, aspiring above all to plough their own furrows as free individuals.
