Two bodies meet, one younger, powerful and vital, the other older and frail. Mimouna (Latifa) Khamessi has always dreamed of becoming a dancer, but it was only her son who had the opportunity to make dance his profession. When Mohamed Toukabri received Belgian citizenship last year, she was finally able to join him on a visa. After being separated for a long time, mother and son are now reunited in a tender duet. Carrying and being carried, caring and letting go are touchingly negotiated in Toukabri's poetic play. The stage becomes a place where memories take on new meanings and a future seems possible in which everyone has the right to go wherever they want.
