To fully dedicate herself to writing her novel, a young writer moves temporarily to her trans partner’s family home in the Alps, on the French-Italian border. The calm she finds there is all the more necessary as she also waits to find out if she is pregnant…
In parallel, the nearest river, long since buried by men but still flowing under the house, speaks up to tell the story of a tragic love between two young girls a century ago.
Two love stories outside of norms are presented alternately, before finally intersecting. With her narrative talent and powerful evocative power, Wendy Delorme immerses us in a deeply inhabited story, where houses retain the memory of past lives and where the elements—water, wind, trees, and stones—become fully fledged characters.
