A wealthy family lives away from society for eight months after the unexpected and then hidden birth of a baby. Each living in their own world, the family members seem to be quietly and slowly reduced to mere corpses, until the day 17-year-old Hélène retraces the father of her child. She then sets off for the Bas-du-Fleuve region to announce fatherhood to a man whom she knew for but one night. But her absence provokes a stir within the family’s ecosystem and pre-existing tensions are unleashed until a mysterious incident regarding Bébé takes place… The unhealthy order breaks and Hélène’s return, followed by Bébé’s father, brings out long buried desires.
