A young woman flees from her partner, insinuates herself into the lives of a family of strangers, and risks losing herself in the process. Gripping.

Tian, a dancer in Marseille, throws herself into rehearsals for the premiere of a new piece. The demanding and controlling choreographer Felix is also her partner. When he crosses a serious boundary in their private life, Tian impulsively decides to take radical action. Following a chance encounter with a group of strangers who are in mourning, she seeks refuge among them. Gradually, she becomes entangled in an ever-denser web of lies and emotions. Her connection with these new people in her life grows ever closer; meanwhile, she conceals a dark secret at home.

A gripping psychological drama about a fascinating young woman who, in her longing for love and a new beginning, risks completely losing her way.
