SYNOPSIS: One summer night, Suzanne, along with her two young children, pays an unexpected visit to her sister Jeanne. Jeanne is surprised: not only have they not seen each other for several months, but Suzanne also seems distant, as if disconnected from herself. Upon waking, Jeanne is astonished to discover the note left by her sister. Shock gives way to anger when, at the police station, Jeanne realizes that no search can be launched: Suzanne has chosen to disappear...
