Following his mother’s death, Etienne goes travelling in Colombia. All of a sudden, his father Michel stops hearing from him. Michel is a steelworker in the Brest dockyards who has never travelled and speaks no foreign languages, yet decides to go looking for his son.
Travel soon teaches him how outmoded his certainties and values are. Forcing himself to expand his horizons as he follows in Etienne's footsteps, perhaps he will finally learn to understand his son.
Alors qu’il voyage en Colombie apès la mort de sa mère, Étienne, un jeune homme de dix-neuf ans, cesse soudain de donner de ses nouvelles. Michel, son père, métallo et syndicaliste aux chantiers navals de Brest, décide du jour au lendemain de partir seul à sa recherche.
Mais Michel n’a jamais voyagé et ne parle aucune langue étrangère. Très vite, il n’aura pour seuls bagages que des certitudes et des valeurs qui n’ont plus cours. C’est en s’efforçant de s’ouvrir à des mondes nouveaux que Michel, en mettant ses pas dans ceux de son fils, va essayer de le comprendre enfin.
