Synopsis
Mustafa and his son Chafik are travelling along the foggy roads of northern Italy. The boy, nine years old, does not know where they are going but picks up some information when they stop and the people his father meets. The man, tired and worried about something that is still vague, hardly says a word to him. After a journey marked by silences, misty landscapes and desolate cemeteries, a call puts an end to his anguish.
