His everyday life is divided between a psychological rehabilitation centre and a national reconciliation tribunal organized under the auspices of the UNO. During the rehabilitation trial in which Ezra takes part, he has to face his sister who is accusing him of the murder of their parents. But Ezra does not remember a thing. Will Ezra admit this horror and thus be forgiven by his sister and his village community?Actors

Le film se déroule dans l'île de São Tomé à la fin des années 1990. Une vieille femme mourante appelle son fils qui vit au loin. Son cri prend la forme concrète d'un énorme fruit plus haut qu'un homme, qui vient tomber du ciel devant la hutte du fils. Celui-ci comprend aussitôt : "Ma m'appelle !" Il nomme le fruit Früchtchen (« petit fruit »). Le Früchtchen commence à rouler et guide l'enfant à travers toute l'île, en direction de la case de Ma. Le film est à la fois un drame, un road movie haut en couleurs avec des moments humoristiques, et un documentaire sur l'île, ses habitants et sa culture (une sorte de docu-fiction).
