It's been a long time since Axel cut himself off from the family, in the wake of his sister Clara's death. But when the cargo boat he is working on as a cook stops off in his hometown of Bordeaux for a few hours, fate seems to catch up with him. He visits his mother Francoise and is shocked when she doesn't even recognize him. He learns she has Alzheimer's disease. But why on earth is he the first of her children to be forgotten? What secrets could that memory loss be hiding?

The only way for Axel to find out is to stop running away. It's time he confronted the past and put together the missing pieces before the memories vanish forever. So he decides to stay and take care of his mother to the very end. The urgency of the situation pushes them both to break free of their painful memories and take a chance on a new future.
