A walk in the promenade. The film traces a trajectory – from inside to outside, from shadow to light, from Vassiliu to Pierre, from the intimate to the public, from the past to the present. The film sounds like a song – one of which we remember the tune, sing a few couplets of and listen to the chorus with pleasure. Each outing is full of surprises and wonderful encounters. Meetings of emerging songs. A staging in small touches – like a chorus. At home, Pierre gets dressed, gets ready, gets dressed, puts on his stage shirt. Once outside, Pierre crisscrosses Sète. A port city where the incentive to travel is almost permanent. Pierre touches the people he meets with humor. The succession of these encounters places the film in the present.

This film was shot in Béziers at the Reception Centre for Asylum Seekers. It gathers the memories of men, women and children housed at this facility. One by one, in a secluded room, these individuals place an object connected to their journey into a suitcase and share moments from their lives: sad, joyful, and moving.
