After having left behind all that was of any
importance to him, a broken old man (Daniel Emilfork) finds
himself alone and searching for his identity in what he recalls of the
past. Sitting in an armchair, he sleeps and re-awakes, deliriously reviving
his memory in a long monologue.
At the same moment and in the same space, three
characters act out this past life, with a dummy representing the old man.
It is the exodus of a family, a desperate flight in a rickshaw, a journey
without destination.
The theme of this film is taken from François
Verret's choreography "WHAT IS THE SECRET?"
