The villagers have learned to live with the sound of reports, while knowing that the next bullet may be for them. Scenes from ordinary life, in a country where the threat of war may never be forgotten: yet a feeling of life prevails: resident forever, forever.

Grégoire Canvel tiene todo lo que se puede desear: una esposa a la que ama, tres hijas encantadoras y un interesante trabajo como productor de cine, al que dedica la mayor parte del tiempo y todo su esfuerzo.

Grégoire suscita la admiración de la gente por su presencia física y su excepcional carisma, pero su prestigiosa productora, Moon Films, está al borde de la quiebra. Tantas producciones, riesgos y deudas anuncian la llegada de una tormenta.
