Returning to Paris, his birth place, a man moves through memories of his past and surreal fragments of the present, searching for connection with his estranged father. On his journey, he meets a French Algerian woman who welcomes him into her world. As their intimacy grows, he is confronted with his shame and fears while exploring his lost Arab identity… Behind Paris is Algiers.
