Thomas Vernier, a 48-year-old middle-aged Paris-based cartoonist, is a man who has a sudden impulse to make a film about a man who has been living in Paris for a long time. One day, Thomas is transported back in time to his hometown in 1960s rural France. He is 14 years old again and tries to find out why his father has disappeared. Will Thomas be able to stop his father's disappearance? Through reunions with friends and first loves, and the anguish of his parents, the film questions what "hometown" and "family" mean to people today.
