The discovery of an old, simple slate blackboard used at school is the pretext for the director Khin Warso to investigate the working of this material in her native country, Burma, in "search of the lost time" of her childhood. In a village in the state of Mon, in southeastern Burma, life revolves around the working of this sedimentary stone, which in the hands of artisans becomes the blackboards used by children at school. With great sensitivity, the documentary traces the life of this stone from its extraction to its final use, pausing to show the carefree games of children, in a reality that is in profound harmony with nature and the environment, still far from the most advanced technologies.
