While enjoying a summer love affair in Paris, director Joseph Morder reflects on his unusual childhood in Ecuador, the haven to which his parents escaped from persecution by the Nazis in Poland during World War II. Rather than using images from Ecuador or direct visual representations of narration, Morder relies on experimental techniques which construct a film autobiography driven by emotion rather than history.
