At Ndewa’s suggestion, four childhood friends meet up after the funeral of their former orphanage director. At 39, Ndewa is the oldest of them, and he’s not the only one whose life isn’t working out too well at present. So everyone agrees to his idea: each of them wants to bury an object or symbol of the past at the lonely meeting spot to help them reflect on their own perspectives and start a new life. When Ndewa wants to bury a key, a sort of memory game begins which drag old demons out into the open. One by one, the friends think back to their childhood in the children’s home run by monks. And they recall ›Daddy‹, the priest in charge of the home who always kept this key on him.

Françoise Ellong’s film delivers a statement against the silence that the powerful institution of the church uses as a weapon to suppress the victims of abuse in the name of religion. The film also raises the question of the responsibility of all those who stay silent on the suffering of those affected – neighbours, relatives or those in charge at such institutions. It’s a fascinating vehicle that examines trauma, alternating between psychological thriller and chamber drama.
