Antoine Sforza, a 30-year-old man, embarked on an urban adventure ten years ago, escaping the confines of his rural village. Now, thrust back into the life he left behind due to his father's hospitalization after a stroke, Antoine must reluctantly return home to assume the role of a traveling grocer, replicating his father's daily sales rounds in the community they both once called their own.In this intimate character-driven narrative, we follow Antoine as he navigates the challenges of embracing his familial responsibilities and the nostalgic emotions that come with confronting his past. The film delves into themes of self-discovery, intergenerational relationships, and the complexities of reconciling one's dreams with their duties towards family and home.
