Set in a Brittany village after World War II, Anne's life is consumed by the absence of her sixteen-year-old son, Louis, who failed to return home one evening. This absence questions the couple's life and redraws that of the entire family. Every day, on the edge of madness and at the limits of pain, Anne waits for the boat that will bring her son back to her. To survive, she writes to him about the insane party she will throw for his return. A relentless tragedy, the story focuses on infinite maternal love.
