Bayo (60) suffers from Alzheimer's disease. His son Franck (40), a teacher, has always lived with him. Both men are unaware of the existence of this disease, unknown in Cameroon. Recently, Franck finds his father's behaviour strange and irrational. Bayo, on the other hand, does not understand his son's annoyance with him. Busy with his work and confused by his father's attitude, Franck decides to hire a young woman to look after Bayo.
Rachel (20 years old) offers her services to look after Bayo. She is in a difficult situation. She suffers from a serious kidney problem and has to raise money for a transplant quickly. A strong relationship develops between these three characters who now share the same life. Bayo begins to love Rachel like her own daughter. His health deteriorates rapidly but he insists on giving his kidney to Rachel, whom he considers far too young to leave this world and its delights. But how can you donate an organ when you have lost your mind?
Franck is now responsible for his father who no longer recognises him. Franck adores Rachel, he is even in love with her, but how can he choose between his heart and his blood? He knows that his father's fragile health makes his plan dangerous, and that he could die during the operation. Nevertheless, Frank honours his father's wishes. Finally, Rachel has a new kidney and can dream again. As for Bayo, he can go back to his dear and loving wife, happy and serene.
