Synopsis
Ferdinand, un homme d’une quarantaine d’années, sort de l’hôpital et croise une femme venue de son passé qui, peut-être, l’aidera à traverser sa nuit. Il va, au travers de plusieurs rencontres, se confronter au monde extérieur, à l’absence de sens, à la norme et au racisme, oscillant entre réalité et fantasme.

Through several unexpected encounters, he will face a senseless world and will have to confront with social standard and racism, lost between reality and fantasizes.
