An Oklahoma oil rig worker’s desperate attempt to free his daughter from a French prison unfolds not as a legal procedural, but as a quiet immersion into a foreign world and a fractured paternal bond. Bill Baker, profoundly out of his element in Marseille, doesn’t rely on investigative prowess or legal maneuvering; instead, he builds a life alongside locals, learning their customs and enduring frustrations, all while quietly pursuing any avenue to prove his daughter’s innocence. The film emphasizes the slow burn of emotional connection amidst cultural and linguistic divides, characterized by unspoken anxieties and persistent hope, creating a melancholic yet ultimately cathartic experience focused on the resilience of familial love and the search for truth which isn't about triumphant victories, but about stubborn perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
