What it’s about. A little girl plays the violin in a cemetery. Just afterwards, a fisherman collects in his boat a young woman, exhausted from swimming, who is asking for a violin. We guess it's the same person. Space-time has been shattered. The young lady has lost her memory, but not her purse, which contains a real fortune. A romance begins between the enigmatic belle and her saviour, she in search of her identity, he who has given up his profession as a photographer and France to reconnect with his Tunisian origins. She without a past, he has a clean slate.
