Using archives from the early “scientific expeditions” and “taming campaigns” led by the French colonizers in North Africa, the film follows a community of young nomads and wanderers as they form an imagined utopian society in response to imperialistic rule. Reenactments, improvisations, and interviews are conducted with the inhabitants of Algiers, Kythira Island and the Prosfygika community in Athens, reflecting on the transmission and re-appropriation of history and reviving memories as strategies of resistance.
