The breakdown came without warning on an ordinary school day as Thomas was standing before his pupils. Suddenly, he could neither move nor speak. The doctors' diagnosis is clear: burn-out.
As exhausted as he is frightened by his condition, Thomas asks his father if he can come to his place in Brittany to recover. Twenty years have passed since he last set foot in his hometown. The rumor is to blame, the one that implied that his father had something to do with the death of his mother when he was five years old.
As Thomas reconnects with his origins, he realizes that his crisis didn't happen by chance... What if the time had come to confront his past?
