mots griffonnés au dos d'une carte postale : « Je pense à vous, je vous aime ». Ils sont signés de Charles, le père d'Antoine, parti vingt ans plus tôt sans laisser d'adresse. Avec son meilleur ami, Laurent, apprenti journaliste, et Anna, sa jeune soeur complètement déjantée, Antoine part sur les traces de ce père fantôme. C'est l'affaire d'une semaine, pense-t-il... De l'ex-Allemagne de l'Est à la Turquie d'Atatürk, de la Géorgie de Staline à l'Autriche nazie, de rebondissements en coups de théâtre, les voici partis pour un road movie généalogique et chaotique à la recherche de leurs origines insoupçonnées.
