Lorsque Robert Tilley, 74 ans, prend la route en compagnie de la photographe Ting Ting Chen pour partir à la découverte de Terre-Neuve, ni l’un ni l’autre n’aurait pu prévoir l’amitié intergénérationnelle profonde qui se nouerait entre eux. Pas plus qu’ils ne se seraient doutés du rôle qu’allait jouer Robert dans la démarche artistique de Ting Ting, rôle qui révolutionnerait les idées reçues sur la relation entre la muse et l’artiste. Cet émouvant court métrage examine les concepts du vieillissement, de la mémoire et de l’identité, ainsi que la force du lien créatif.
