Following an accident, veterinarian Alexandre Tourneur (Roy Dupuis) not only develops amnesia, but also acquires another memory and another language. He must try to reconstruct his past life out of the truths, lies and omissions provided to him by his family and friends. On trying to return to his origins, he stumbles upon a childhood trauma that he had never wished to remember, and which gives new meaning to the two mottos of Quebec and Ontario: Je me Souviens and Yours to Discover. The film is at the same time a moving homage to the indigenous cultures which we have wished to reject and to forget.
