It’s a twenty cigarette story from a pack of cigarettes from Vietnam, that has travelled a long time for it to reach the main character in France. Every cigarette has to be worth the trip. Over a long period of time we observe the different moments in which she decides to light a cigarette, different occasions, with different people, from the first to the last one.
