Dix ans après la fin de l’apartheid, au sein d’une mission française installée au pied des somptueuses montagnes du Drakensberg, une communauté de sud-africains noirs et blancs tente de vivre dans l’oubli des violents affrontements dont chacun porte encore en secret les blessures. Le passé va ressurgir et briser le silence, mettant en péril le fragile équilibre de la réconciliation et les rêves un peu fous des plus innocents.

Gwen and Rhys are a Welsh-speaking couple living in Cardiff where Rhys works as a photographer and Gwen is employed as a historical interpreter at a local Welsh cultural centre. Gwen is also an aspiring actress and although she periodically attends auditions, she has yet to be hired for a theatrical part. The couple's inability to conceive a child has caused increasing tension between them. Hoping to reinvigorate their relationship, the pair decide to travel together to southern Argentina where Rhys has been commissioned to photograph the historic Welsh chapels in Patagonia, a vast windswept landscape which was a destination for Welsh immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
