Trying to bring order from the chaos he witnessed caused him to break down and he was removed to Canada where he led a numbed existence until some years later he decides to face his awakening memories during an interstate road trip.The journey Josefu takes is a rite of passage breaking out of limbo toward a hopeful future. At the same time he dares to look back to remember and to lay ghosts to rest as they accompany him on his journey. Occasionally the two realities seem to merge.
