An American film director of Greek descent named A., portrayed by Willem Dafoe, goes back to find the tracks in time across many countries he and his family left from the day he was born in 1953 until the present (early twentyfirst century). The dust of time confuses memories. The film describes the erotic triangle between the director's mother Eleni (Irène Jacob), Jacob (Bruno Ganz) and Spyros (Michel Piccoli).

Our bodies are weak and worn;

And we despoil the unborn.”
