NRAn aspiring filmmaker tries to restore her fading childhood memories through someone else's travel stories. One evening in front of a bar, Hunay bumps into an acquaintance, Benjamin. He recently visited her native country, Azerbaijan, which she had to flee in 2011 with her family for political reasons.

What happens when we can no longer return to our hometown, when our childhood memories are fading away? Can memories stay alive through someone else’s?
