Victor Ganz, owner of a thriving civil engineering firm, is called to Morocco — where he has not set foot in decades — to solve a major problem with one of his investments. His return awakens long-buried memories of a forgotten affair, but as he delves deeper into his repressed past, he sinks into a quagmire of uncertainty. His search for the woman he once loved, compounded by veiled threats from the local mob, sends Victor on a labyrinthine trek through back streets and arid desert. Laced with strange coincidences, dead ends, and misremembered acquaintances, this film creates a universe in which past and present intertwine and unfolds like a fervid, disruptive dream.
