"All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was." (Toni Morrison, The Site of Memory, 1987)
Autumn 2025. Juliette and Camille meet in a sound studio hidden deep in the Galician forest to record a song. Juliette, born in Barcelona to Peruvian parents, is building a musical project that is also a search for her own roots. Camille, French, has spent fourteen years in rural Galicia, where she composes electronic music from the sounds of nature under the name Mounqup.
Two different women, connected by the same search: to find their place through music. Those three days of recording become the heart of the film. Through conversations, musical improvisations and small everyday moments, Juliette and Camille gradually find one another, and from that shared space the story moves back and forth in time: Juliette's eight-month journey through Peru in search of lost roots; Camille's childhood as a Black girl in Nantes, a city marked by the legacy of colonialism; or the sudden collapse of the album that seemed destined to change her life.
Juliette & Camille is a music documentary about identity, roots and memory. But above all it is the portrait of two strong, vital and intelligent women who turn music into a territory of resistance and transformation. Rain permeates everything. The Galician forest is the setting for an encounter that changes them both.
