Synopsis

A young couple must cope with the emptiness that follows the death of their son. While Guillaume needs silence and solitude, Amande feels the need to act to overcome her pain. Despite the presence and tenderness of her loved ones, the young woman is devastated:

"The only glimmer of hope I have left is the idea that others have already experienced such grief and have rebuilt their lives. If these people exist, I want to meet them.

On mountain trails, we follow Amande as she meets people who have experienced the same tragedy. In a spirit of modesty, they open up, recounting their pain and the road to reconstruction. Their stories are as many bursts of life that they agree to share with Amande.

A journey of initiation in the footsteps of a grieving young mother in search of meaning after the death of her child. A film about resilience that breaks the taboo surrounding parental bereavement. Inspiring and luminous.
