Synopsis
Sometimes a person passes through your world and you don't forget them.
She is like that.
She is crossing continents, searching for her missing child.
Everyone she comes into contact with has a tale to tell: the truck driver who mistook her for a prostitute, the hunters who almost shot her, the Frenchman who loved her, the blind man and the lodger.
This is her story.
