Following a young researcher documenting a language isolate in southern Chad, the film goes out to meet villagers and explore their relation to languages.

With their testimonies, one discovers a deeply multilingual humanity, made up of a myriad of societies, each endlessly using language to encode its knowledge, its culture, and much more: its entire worldview.

But for how much longer?
