Today, he is eleven years old and he lives in a modest building in one of the suburbs of Paris. His uncle is a young single executive barely thirty years old. From his mother, JAMES receives his birth certificate through his uncle. One day, he takes her with him to school. Out of curiosity, FRED, one of his close class friends, discovers an astonishing mention: "Father Unknown".
JAMES immediately writes in secret to his mother, questioning her about this enigmatic mention, made on his birth certificate and in which he refuses to believe. His mother's answer obviously falls into the hands of his uncle who reads it and reproaches JAMES for having sent his clandestine letter.
JAMES is deeply affected by this situation which upsets him and leads him to open an investigation into his past.
