去殖民化運動於現代興起，亞洲、非洲各國開始透過外交與法律途徑，要求歐美知名博物館歸還原本屬於他們的文物，經過多年交涉後，法國終於同意在2021年將藏於巴黎布朗利河岸博物館的26件文物歸還貝南。導演迪歐普以虛實互為表裡的影像詩，記錄這批文物返回非洲故土的過程，她讓死者與生人對話、讓文物神靈與物質世界互動，不僅泯滅了生死、精神與物質，更跨越現實和戲劇的界線，為這趟當代解殖思潮之旅，提供了更高層次的省思。
November, 2021. Twenty-six royal treasures of the Kingdom of Dahomey are about to leave Paris to return to their country of origin, the present-day Republic of Benin. Along with thousands of others, these artifacts were plundered by French colonial troops in 1892. But what attitude to adopt to these ancestors’ homecoming in a country that had to forge ahead in their absence? The debate rages among students at the University of Abomey-Calavi.
