Dany Boudreault was born on the shores of Lake Saint-Jean in Quebec, a rural environment; Gurshad Shaheman is a native of the Islamic Republic of Iran, where he spent the first twelve years of his life. Starting with a list of the people – family, first loves, friends, even enemies – and the places marking the fights and frolics of their youth, Boudreault and Shaheman each took on the task of working back up-stream through the river of the other's life, creating a new portrait of it. Following the two writer-performers who themselves often had to make tough choices among the multiple narratives, the audience experiences the narration through multi-channel headphones, allowing them to select the accounts they wish to follow. Together, Boudreault and Shaheman offer the keys to their personal archives, through a writing style that combines a travel journal and a character investigation. In speaking of the other, one inevitably speaks about oneself, but also and above all about others. Spanning the oceans, the personal and political accounts interlink, finding an echo in each one of us.
