Gare du Nord in Paris is a transit station for all those coming from the suburbs, the provinces or abroad. Accompanied by Simon Mérabet, the son of Algerian immigrants from the Var, Human Geography offers a series of brief meetings with individuals who recount their lives in just a few words before disappearing to take their trains. The crowd of passengers is embodied in these stories, one life after another, and we see how globalization fashions individual destinies, subject to geographical and economic pressures.

In Vietnam, thirty years after the war, the ghosts of the past have not finished haunting the living: hundreds of thousands of soldiers have died without burial, reduced to the sad fate of wandering souls. Armed with their unit records, Tho and Doan, two former Viet Cong fighters, set out in search of the graves of their comrades, in the hope of bringing their bodies back to their families. From forgotten battlefields to cemeteries of "unknown soldiers", their quest takes them back to the places that marked their youth and forged their destiny.
