Facing the Aravis mountain range in Savoy, Chris, who has been stuck in a wheelchair for 28 years, is looking at his mountains through a telescope. The vision of a body hanging above the void sends him back to his past, to the tragedy of his life, and, to his dead father. July 1990, they were a group of six friends who had happily celebrated the end of their school year. The accident. All of them escaped unharmed from the vehicle's body. Except Chris. His father, with relentless devotion, wanted for his son to restore his lost youth and kept in his heart this crazy hope that one day Chris could walk again. His father wondered, specifically, about Chris’ friends who wiped him out of their lives. Obsessed by this idea, he decided to find where they lived. Didn't they steal the beautiful life his son was entitled to? One evening, almost ten years after the accident, he announced to Chris and his mother, the discreet Odile, that they would be moving to Brittany. A region where they could start living again and perhaps forget the past. But Chris was not fooled: his father had something on his mind.
