Caveh Zahedi tells the story of a contentious encounter with a college security guard, a story about a moment's lapse into racism. The film attempts to shed light on the mental process by which racism becomes internalized.

As the song says: "I'm 26 years old but only 4 useful. I don't understand anything". 8 people read aloud private texts (sms, letters, emails) written or received by Daphné Hérétakis in the months leading up to her 26th birthday. The film proposes to take these texts out of the realm of intimacy and put them back into the public space and the collective nature of the film. The result is a romantic and absurd cadavre exquis, which addresses slightly depressed sensibilities.

A variation on paroptic vision (the ability to see with the skin, without the aid of the eyes), telepathy, colour theory and the theremin. The various sequences introduce the hypothesis of an imaginary cinema. The film is presented as a series of rushes, suggesting an unfinished film in progress.
