Synopsis

On the eve of the year 2000, Abderrahmane Sissako, a Mauritanian filmmaker living in France, decides to return to Sokolo, a small village in Mali, to find his father. He arrives in the village, changes his clothes, gets on a bicycle, and wanders through the alleys and fields. That's when he meets Nana, who is also passing through. Something intangible and playful develops between them, while life in the village continues as usual.
