What’s worth remembering? Who decides what is worthy of remembrance? Through images shot at the beginning of the 20th century by women filmmakers, the director questions her references, what she has been taught and passed on. Between past and present, memories and omissions, the audience (re)discovers women who have made cinema what it is today. A sensorial and poetic journey that takes the spectator back to its own knowledge and personal and social constructions.

These cells that draw her, each time, into this train, into her inner world, where she hears. Because Sarah is deaf. But Sarah is going to have an operation. For the first time, she will hear the real world.
