Om tapet av kultur som følger med tapet av språk. Med fokus på det insulære keltiske språket bretonsk er filmen en refleksjon over den arvberøvelsen som skjer når en muntlig overført kultur blir sterkt motarbeidet, nesten til utryddelse, av myndighetene.
On the loss of culture that comes with the loss of language. Focusing on the insular Celtic language Breton, the film is a reflection on the deprivation of heritage that happens when an orally transmitted culture is heavily discouraged, almost to the point of extinction, by the government.
