She enjoys spending her weekends relaxing at her large family home in the country. She sees her grandmother Hortense every time she visits. She was a strong woman who raised her four sons on her own and managed her orchards with talent. Maud also finds her mother, uncles, cousin, brother, and, most importantly, her daughter Julia, who has recently moved to the estate after dropping out of law school to start making jam.

But the family is troubled by Benoît, one of Hortense’s sons who has been traumatized since childhood by the drowning of his twin brother. Only Benoît and Hortense are aware of what transpired. The only two witnesses have remained silent for unknown reasons. Maud launches an investigation in response to the silence. She wants to find out the truth, even if it means upsetting the tribe’s previously peaceful balance. Why is this death still taboo after more than fifty years? Is Hortense concealing something?
