Victoria has just been released from prison. She is 61 and wishes to start a new life. Her home now is her old invalid uncle’s place, a hut in the middle of the Canadian wilderness. Vic hopes to live there with Florence, her younger lover and ex-cellmate, with whom she shared years of intimacy in prison. Under the watchful gaze of Guillaume, a young parole officer, Vic wants only to do the right thing and remain in peace. But the past comes back to haunt Flo. Signs of imminent threat begin to appear and the forest seems to hold treacherous traps. Competition, Berlin Film Festival 2013.
