From the end of the 18th century, many Corsicans emigrated to Latin America and in particular to Porto-Rico. One becomes aware of this at Cap Corse, the main region for this emigration where "the Americans’ houses" testify arrogantly to the success of some of them.
Some of the descendants seeking their roots and their houses, have come to reappropriate their memories also.
So, thanks to the experience of Lili, Nériana and Enid, this is an intrusion into the difficulties that are inherent to this kind of search.
