Melrick, a 13-year-old boy, spends his summer vacation with his grandmother Nicole in Cayenne, Guyana. His presence and his desire to learn how to play the drum brings back the specter of Lucas, Nicole's son, also a drummer, who died in tragic conditions 11 years earlier. Faced with the grief that haunts his family and Lucas's best friend's desire for revenge, Melrick seeks his own path to forgiveness

18-year-old drummer Lucas was murdered at a birthday party. People mourn his death through music and street marches. The film combines slow-motion playback with fictional elements, refusing to remain merely a flat audiovisual archive and instead preparing a new axis of meaning. Attentive to the sounds and images created by the natural and artificial elements of Guiana, the film reaches back through time to expand the dimensions of mourning and anger. Through conversations between Lucas' friend Yannick and a counselor, and dialogues involving Lucas' mother Nicole and Melrick, unresolved emotions and states are brought into the present. (Lee Wanmin)
