I go to Yemen to film a yemeni woman. The shooting stops a few days later because it puts her life in danger. What to film now that what I wanted to shoot in the first place turns out to be impossible ? The project becomes an essay-film about the failure of the first shooting and the encounter with another woman, the translator, with whom I continue my journey. I start meeting people around me, questioning them about love and life. Words don't come easy. By confronting their speech to my own experience, I decide to expose myself, as they do while speaking to my camera.
