Leo, thirty, is a musical instrument repairer, born in Brazil to a Black family and adopted by a white Swiss couple. Suspended between worlds that never fully align, he feels this tension deepen when his trumpet—the only tangible link to his origins—suddenly falls silent. On a mission to repair it, Leo meets Milton, a magnetic and unpredictable Brazilian musician. He is pulled into a drifting journey across Switzerland: icy rivers, pulsating bodies, improvised nights, and unhealed wounds. What begins as curiosity slowly fractures into tension as buried truths rise to the surface, forcing Leo to confront abandonment, longing, and his fear of ever claiming a place of his own.
