A melancholic, introspective drama about familial estrangement and romantic jealousy set during a fraught Christmas homecoming, marked by emotional complexity and unresolved tensions.

At Christmas time, 19-year-old Simon returns home to visit his dysfunctional family with Louise, a fearless girl he met during his train ride. While Simon struggles to cope with the growing distance between him and his parents, he starts to examine his feelings when Louise develop a liaison of her own with his childhood friend Mathieu.
