Synopsis
During the autopsy of a young migrant who died on the journey to Europe, a doctor finds a small bag filled with earth. Touching it opens a poetic vision of the boy's final memories, moving between live action and black-and-white animation. When reality returns, the earth is no longer evidence but memory: a physical bond with the country he never wanted to leave.
