Scott Thomas stars as Juliette, a distant and withdrawn woman with a hard shell. After a long spell away, Juliette returns to live with Lea (Elsa Zylberstein), the sister she has not seen for 15 years, and her busy family. After a cautiously happy reunion, the two siblings slowly start to rebuild their relationship, and Juliette does her best to carry on with the everyday searching for a job, looking after her gorgeous nieces, swimming with her sister at the local pool. But Juliette has obviously been through an extremely traumatic experience, and her silence makes fitting into her new life difficult for all involved.
