From a modest background, Hélène left the Vosges a long time ago.
Today, she's in her forties. A brutal burn-out forces her to leave Paris and return to where she grew up, between Nancy and Epinal. One evening, in the parking lot of a franchised restaurant, she spots a familiar face, Christophe Marchal, the handsome field hockey player from her high school days. Christophe, that distant object of desire, an affair Hélène never saw coming... In their embrace, two France's, two worlds that are now strangers, dream of loving each other. Will this idyll, this island, be possible for them?
