"I'm standing in front of my desk, where I no longer do any work. Laure, a cousin I've forgotten, called me, and I was dreaming."

Since the accident, Julien has lived alone. All he does is wait. He's not surprised when Laure, a distant cousin, calls him after fifteen years of silence. As children, they used to spend their vacations together, but that time ended abruptly. Now Laure has come back to heal him. One stormy night in the mountains, they almost died. That's where it all began, she says: her affliction, his accident, and everything else.
She knows an old couple, healers who could ease his pain. He agrees to go with her. And then Laure decides that they must return to the Pyrenees. It will cure him and provide closure. But who, in these mountains so far removed from childhood, could bring them back to life?
