Returning to Paris, a man moves through memories of his past and surreal fragments of the present, searching for connection with his estranged father. On his journey, he meets a French-Algerian woman. As their intimacy grows, he is confronted with his shame and fears while exploring his lost Arab identity… Behind Paris is Algiers.

Paris, un matin. Une poignée de jeunes, de milieux différents. Chacun de leur côté, ils entament un ballet étrange dans les dédales du métro et les rues de la capitale. Ils semblent suivre un plan. Leurs gestes sont précis, presque dangereux. Ils convergent vers un même point, un Grand Magasin, au moment où il ferme ses portes. La nuit commence.
