Synopsis  

In a working-class neighborhood of Mauritius, old Bolom has disappeared.

His son Ronaldo sets out to find him, and crosses paths with Ajeya, an Indian immigrant worker.

He dreams of a life as an entrepreneur, she flees her condition as a modern-day slave.

Together, their nocturnal crossing of the island takes on a new dimension between mystical quest and desire for freedom.
