Synopsis

PIERRE lives with his mother MARIE in their château in Normandy. They are beautiful, rich and carefree. They love each other. Every morning, Pierre rides the motorbike that his father left to him to the home of his fiancée, the blond and poignant LUCIE. They love each other. One night, MARIE tells PIERRE that she has set the date for his wedding to Lucie. PIERRE immediately sets off in the night to tell her the news. But on the way, at the edge of a dark forest, a mournfully beautiful woman appears in his headlight's beam. She speaks with a strong Eastern European accent : "Pierre... you're not the only child... I'm your sister, Isabelle". Pierre believes her. He subsequently attempts to correct his father's error and save this sacrificed sister. All of sudden Pierre abandons everything to live in Paris with ISABELLE. "All my life, I've waited for something... that would push me... beyond all this."
