Written by the director together with Benoît Graffin, the screenplay has Adeline as its heroine, a young flight hostess who has lost her husband and baby in a car accident. Closely guarded by her sister and her brother-in-law, she has survived her grief by hiding behind a glass wall. She no longer feels anything – neither fear, sadness, joy nor anger. But this balance is shattered when her Chinese cleaner disappears, leaving a false address and…a little boy. Initially reticent, even indifferent towards him, Adeline slowly allows herself to be moved by the quiet distress of this motherless child. In order to help him, she agrees to fight, to promise, to get involved and, overcoming a thousand obstacles, she finds a risky solution to take him back to China. It is then she understands that the hardest thing for her is to be separated from him. By giving up the child, by returning him to his mother, she finally finds her way in life again.
