Hvad gør det ved én, når ens kultur og identitet bliver opslugt af den nye, gemt væk? - Som den i øvrigt også blev under kolonitiden.
Bliver man så integreret, eller assimileret?
Silas fortæller ikke bare folk, at han er fra Grønland.
Silas taler dansk. Og Silas kan rigtig godt lide, bare at høre på andre fortælle deres historier.
Men en historie han er træt af at høre fra andre, er historien om hans eget land. Den bliver nemlig altid fortalt af andre. Fortalt af dem der tog over - dem der overtog.
Silas kommer fra et folk, der langt om længe er ved at få en stemme, og et sted i verden. Den stemme er Silas ved at få. Nu vil han selv fortælle.
