Following a failed armed attack against members of a wealthy and influential family, Hélène flees into the forest, abandoning her fellow activists. The ghost of her friend Manon returns to hunt her, offering her a chance to reconsider her escape and the convictions that led her there. In a valley where constant metamorphoses disrupt the natural order of things, reality and imagination intertwine in a story that reflects on political commitment and the shared responsibility we bear for our collective future.
