1962. Matthias, a former soldier stationed in the Belgian Congo, goes into exile on a Mediterranean island with his beloved Awa, a young Congolese woman he met during his deployment in Africa. Awa dreams of a better life, free from persecution. Matthias hopes to escape his past and, perhaps, build a future.

The film tells the story of three very different people and their struggle to find the courage in every-day life: a teen drummer leaves his parents house after an intense fight with his dad, a female steel worker has to stand up for herself in front of her co-workers on the day that she realizes she's pregnant, and a 5-year old girl has to overcome her fears on the first day of school.
