After retiring a man wants to return to the Caribbean Island of Curaçao where he spent his working life. The preparations are going well: he sells his house and all his possessions are put into boxes. But then his health fails him. Dementia affects his memory.

At the same time we hear the man having telephone conversations with his son in which he gradually acknowledges that he is losing his grip on reality.
