Alice, a student in Aix-en-Provence, works in a café to help her ends meet. There, she meets Elvira, a charming and eccentric elderly woman and she can’t possibly imagine how this encounter will change her life.

After Elvira is run over by a scooter, she dies in Alice’s arms. A few days later, Alice learns that Elvira has left her things in her will.

And so begins Alice’s quest to discover who took the life of this once beautiful woman, and the reasons for her solitude and secrets, and her connection to Alice’s family.

Alice’s path towards the real Elvira will be both painful and reconciliatory.
