A minor news: of all the objects found during autopsies in the pockets of migrants who died on the perilous journey they had undertaken, one small bag filled with a dark substance caught the eye. It looks like hashish. And as soon as the hand of the autopsy doctor comes into contact with the dark substance, the world seen through the eyes of the boy before he died appears to her: one enters a poetic, almost dreamlike dimension, brought about by Simone Massi's black and white strokes. This vision is interrupted by the hand of a policeman who brings the doctor back to reality. It is he who reveals that the substance is just earth and that it is common for migrants to have this memory of their country with them. The doctor is overcome with pain: a wound she had suffered earlier on her temple is bleeding again. The animation takes us back to the country of origin that the boy never wanted to leave, where he ends up in the arms of his mother.
