Summer of 1989, Corsica. Young Clotilde arrives with her parents and brother on Corsica—the father’s homeland. A magical summer: sunshine, the sea, dolphins, music, first love… and a fatal car accident in which her parents and brother will die. Only Clo will remain alive.
Summer of 2016. Clotilde has become a lawyer, she has a beloved husband and a daughter—of the same age as Clo was when the tragedy happened. And then, twenty-seven years later, Clotilde decides to return to Corsica, to visit the place of the terrible catastrophe with her family—so as to expel the past that still won’t let her go. But when she arrives in the familiar little village, Clotilde receives a letter… from her dead mother.
