It was the first by Chadian director Mahamat Saleh Haroun, who also starred.

A Chadian film director who lives and works in France (Haroun) returns home upon the death of his mother.

Encountering skepticism from his family members about his chosen career, Haroun tries to defend himself by quoting Jean-Luc Godard: "The cinema creates memories."

Haroun learns about the destruction of the African cinema from directors in neighboring countries, but also finds Issa Serge Coelo shooting his first film, Daressalam.

Things go badly and, convinced that it is impossible to make films in Africa, Haroun departs Chad, leaving his film camera to a young boy who had been following him around with a self-made toy camera.
