Against all odds, an African filmmaker decides to make a film in the UK. In that film, Simon, a mysterious Nigerian man, returns to London one year after his sudden death. Simon wants to make amends with his former lover who felt betrayed when he killed himself with no explanation. But, inevitably, the realities of British and European politics come back to haunt the lovers and to disrupt the African filmmaker in his project.
