While strolling through a garden in Algiers, a painter sees the silhouette of a man appear in the distance. Intrigued, she decides to follow him, but the man disappeared. Back home, she persists in finding him through her drawings and paintings. What follows is a long reverie, in the form of an initiation quest, imbued with mysticism. Is it the painter who has seen the man, or is it the other way round? Flirting with the absurd, the film explores our difficulties in seeing and representing in a world where reality seems increasingly elusive.
