In 1950s Quebec, Maggie, a fifteen-year-old girl, falls in love with Gabriel, a lower-class French boy. When Maggie becomes pregnant, her parents force her to give her daughter Elodie up for adoption. Elodie grows up in an orphanage in precarious conditions, where thousands of orphans are declared mentally ill due to a new law that benefits psychiatric hospitals. Maggie, married to a banker, cannot forget her daughter. Over the years, Maggie and Elodie's lives intertwine without ever touching, until Maggie decides to look for her daughter and discover the truth that has been hidden from them.
