Awa and Adama are 24-year-old twin sisters. Born of a Burkinabe father and a Senegalese mother, they are now motherless. Living with their aunt in Saint Louis, Senegal, they go in search of their father who has gone to "make his life", when they were eight years old.

Orphan twin sisters, 25-year-old, named Adama and Awa Ouedraogo are looking for their father's who left, when they were eight years old. Their aunt with whom they live in Saint Louis of Senegal, give them, some informations which are the first path to trace part of their father's story. They want a build on him, because they did not have the chance to know him well. From him, they only have three pictures and a vague memory.

The story of a Burkinabe migrant named Abdoulaye Ouédraogo who has been missing for years. Drissa Ouédraogo, his brother and his children Adama and Awa set out to find him by traveling through Burkina Faso, Senegal and Guinea-Bissau. Their journey, like a voyage of initiation and discovery, plunges us into the heart of a family story, a quest for identity and rediscovered family origins.
