When her mother dies, Anne is in charge of organising her draws, boxes and more personal goods. Lost in the middle of this mine of memories, she discovers a photo capable of calling into question her whole life. In addition to coating her origins in doubt, the picture also shows her a hitherto unknown uncle, to whom her parents gave shelter shortly after the war ended. To unravel this family secret, she will get to know the equally intense as fleeting, love affair that her mother lived.
