Synopsis
Bastia, Corsica, serves as the backdrop for Pascale Thirode's search for her family's history. Accompanied by her daughters, aged 10 and 13, Thirode arrives by ship, shrouded in mist. They seek her grandfather, who died in Ajaccio in July 1944 under unclear circumstances. Thirode reflects on her mother's silence about their origins, symbolized by the Corsican phrase "Acqua in bocca," meaning "water in the mouth." The documentary unfolds as they confront the unspoken stories of their past.
