I walk, in the night, in the city and I hear televisions. I suppose they all together could tell a story and give me a sign before I get home. It’s like an house inside and its residents’ extension to the outside, to the street and to me. I walk. Like a Ghost. I’m getting inside all these houses… But as I walk, as I get closer, I try to fix them to hear better, see more, more, more…

The Dutroux Affair, a notorious child kidnapping and sexual abuse case that struck Belgium in the 1990s, created such a media circus that it distorted an entire nation's collective identity and memory. The generation of children shaped by its sordidly sensational and pervasive coverage are now adults looking to redress their fears, confusion and mistrust. Using shaky VHS tapes from the time coupled with voiceover, these voices of a generation confront their experiences of the crimes as "a threat that invades your body."

Like the French expedition of 1951 which lost two mountaineers, Roger Duplat and Gilbert Vigne, to whom Paul Gendre and Louis Dubosc pay tribute.
The main protagonist is a homeless, alcoholic living in the dregs of society. He is a tattoo enthusiast, with almost all of his body covered in ink. Each tattoo resembles a different story, of which there were many. Despite the uneasy position he finds himself in, he is trying to take his life in his own hands once again and make up for the wrong he did in the past.
