Josette, 75, lonely in Yaoundé, tries to lure her children in Europe home while overseeing her son’s house. When she befriends Sarah, a neighbour, their growing bond upends everything Josette believed about family.

While she oversees the construction of a house for one of her sons, she meets Sarah, a young woman from her neighbourhood. As the two women get to know each other, all of Josette’s points of reference, linked to her family ties, collapse.
