Marco, a discreet janitor and comic book enthusiast, works in a pediatric hospital in Dakar.

One day, Henri, an overwhelmed father, asks Marco for help in communicating with his six-year-old daughter Anita, who has withdrawn into silence. A tender relationship develops between Marco and the child, rekindling a forgotten joy within him.
