After a nuclear war has left Paris uninhabitable, scientists living underground send a prisoner back in time because of a childhood memory he has of a woman's face on the observation pier at Orly airport. Told almost entirely through still photographs, the short film follows his visits to the past and the woman he falls in love with there.
