    • Synopsis
    • Hélène, approaching 40, seemingly has it all – a successful career, two children and a perfect life in Paris. Yet, she feels unfulfilled, restless, and disconnected from the life she once dreamed of. When an opportunity brings her back to her childhood hometown, she quickly realises how much she has changed compared to those who stayed behind. She encounters Christophe, a former classmate who has never left the town and whose dreams of becoming a hockey champion have faded, along with his marriage. As their reunion stirs old emotions and rekindles Hélène’s long-lost desires, they must determine if their new bond can bridge the gap that has grown between them over the years.
