It is the summer of 1982. Garance is eleven years old and lives in a remote hamlet in the Cevennes where her parents are trying to lead an alternative life. When two Italian activists rob a bank in the area, things go wrong. This event turns Garance and her family's life upside down.

Vincent works the night shift on the construction site of a futuristic district. When a worker goes missing, Vincent and his colleagues suspect that their superiors are covering up an accident. But soon another worker disappears.

Lise (16 years old) is accused of murdering her best friend. As the trial starts, her parents stand right by her side. But once her secret life is revealed in court, the truth becomes indistinguishable.

My boobs? They're too small, even Fanny said so. My butt? I hate it! My face? In a trash can… Thanks to Muse, I could become someone else. In just 30 days, I'd have slimmer legs, higher breasts and a firmer bottom. And finally, I would be beautiful.

Two sisters, aged 5 and 8, hang out alone at home in the middle of the countryside. Elsa, the youngest, swallows three grains of coarse salt. Judith announces to her that she’s doomed to a death by desiccation, and she only has a few hours to live. The mother returns, behaving ardently and feverishly, and turns the family's destiny upside down.

In the middle of the picture, there’s Thalia, who just turned three years old. She discovers what life is made of, from snails to death. She experiments, evaluates and tastes every flavour that we adults have forgotten. In Thalia's shed, there’s music being composed, images being created, the softness of gestures and countless "Why?".
