Eugenie has a unique gift: she hears and sees the dead. When her family discovers her secret, at the end of the 19th century, she is taken by her father and brother to the neurological clinic at La Pitié Salpêtrière with no possibility of escaping her fate. Her destiny becomes entwined with that of Geneviève, a nurse at the hospital.
Émilie leaves Paris behind the wheel of a car she can't drive. She hitchhikes the wrong way round and tries to find drivers who will take her to see the sea from the top of the cliffs. A father, a brother, a lover, and a mother, so many characters encountered on the way who remind her of her past and teach her how to sleep, laugh, sing, and make love again.
