Sartène, a Corsican village enclosed in the stone corset of a town, a fortress clinging to its mountain, is like an island within an island. The space in Sartène is shared, surveyed for decades according to an immutable rite and on the margins of the square which forms its heart, stand the North Africans.

Assunta is struck down by a sudden illness and is rescued by her neighbor, Fatima. The old woman survives but on awakening she discovers that the illness has brought back her past, scarred by the creation of the largest military proving ground in Europe which caused the end of her small community.
