A young African is assaulted and beaten in Muno, and ends up in serious condition at the hospital. Raphaël, who works at a local radio station, learns of the happening and decides to return to his hometown to face the problem of racism that seems to affect the small rural community.
"Over the weekend during which the incident happened, many people of the same neighborhood were able to see each other again after many years. But it has been a long time, the people's interests have changed and, in any case, no one cares anymore about the others" (Bouli Lanners).
