    • Synopsis
    • Lea, a twenty-six-years-old immigrant poet in Paris, sits alone on a dance floor and feels bored and isolated. This feeling increases when she finds it difficult to order a beer because she doesn't speak French very well. She finds herself forced to answer the question : "Where do you come from?", while she faces an identity crisis due to her lack of a sense of belonging anywhere. She gets to know a number of people who have many questions about her and falls in love with a girl at the time when she has to face her past, which appears in flashes.
