    • Synopsis
    • In the early 1920s, Georges Laffont (Romain Duris) decides to leave his life behind and travel to West Africa.
      But this adventure leads him to a dead-end, and he comes back to France where his brother Marcel (Grégory Gadebois), a war invalid, lives with their mother's.
      After the war in Europe, life went on without him.
      Georges will desperately try to find his place, with the help of Hélène (Céline Sallette), a sign language teacher with whom he will have a tumultuous relationship, and his family, that he selfishly left behind.
      He will finally attempt to heal their wounds, and his.
