Deux récits pudiques et poétiques sur l'immigration et la différence. Imagine que ton père nie les principes de physique que tu apprends à l'école! Que lui dirais-tu pour le convaincre? Il est des routes qui n'ont pas de carrefours : celle du père, ancien berger, ignorant des découvertes de l'humanité mais tourné vers La Mecque, et celle du fils qui a rejoint le savoir du monde moderne.
