After being away for 10 years, Jacques comes back to France to handle his father´s estate. He left France and went to live in the United States to escape a painful past he shared with Mado, his former wife, who in the meantime has built a new life with Stéphane and their seven-year-old son, Paul. Upon his return, Jacques and Mado meet again. He asks to meet her son Paul; Mado hesitates, then accepts but does not tell her husband.
