Synopsis

By the time Stéphane was born, his father had already left for the United States. His mother for unknown reasons never wanted to tell him she was pregnant. Stéphane only knows a few scant details about his father: his name, his date of birth, his height and his profession, a U.S. soldier. Armed only with this information, he decides to go look for his father somewhere in the United States. Director Sébastian Lifshitz follows Stéphane on his journey recording this true story as it unfolds. –uniFrance
