Synopsis
After cutting ties with her family for seven years, Lili returns to Corsica. She meets up with her father, her brother, and her son Martin, the child she abandoned at birth. But how can she reconnect with them? What can you say when you've done something that can't be undone? Despite the accusations and insinuations, feelings can't help but show. After lunch, Martin takes Lili on a frantic bicycle ride in which he disappears, allowing them to meet up again on different terms.
