Stella is 6 but she is going to school for the first time. Happy, exuberant (maybe too much) she is a lovely child, but is often absent. Her parents say she is fragile. She tells her teacher, Céline, she fell when asked why she has a few bruises. Is it child abuse or real immune deficiency? The doubt is growing in the mind of those who meet the child. Worried, Céline notes every injury until the day the family moves without telling anyone.

Southern Italy, 1960s. Everything changes for the Bocchiarelli family when father Mario forces his wife Teresa to sell their small plot of land, the family's only source of income. With nothing left to live on, they left Italy. Being Communists, they were forbidden to enter the Americas. Out of spite, the Bocchiarelli family settled in France. Through the eyes of Ornella, a naive and enthusiastic 6-year-old girl, we experience the daily life of this family, with its many cries, tears and a few nascent dreams. As her family struggles to integrate, Ornella sings and confines herself to an imaginary bubble of hopeful poetry...

Holed up in a small Normandy town, Louise hides from her ghosts as she looks after grumpy old Theo, the retired lighthouse keeper who shares her passion for ornithology. As she wanders the twisted shores, observing birds and people alike, Louise also keeps track of old Florelle, another broken soul who searches the beaches, seemingly waiting for the crashing waves to return something to her. Observing the locals' reactions to Lambert's return, the heir of a family lost at sea, Louise is intrigued by his past but, at the same time, attracted to him. As their relationship deepens, they start to unravel the web of secrets that have haunted the small village for decades. Together, they struggle to uncover the truth that could set them both free.
