- An old man, a young woman, a soldier and a player walk around an imaginary topography across continents, escaping from their everyday existence. Each one of them starts out, alone, only to meet up and form a group, which is to move along like an expedition. Suddenly they come across a clearing, a city, a desert, an ocean.

One day, the "guide", that led them, disappears...
