Spoilers ahead

On Christmas Eve in Paris, four friends in their late twenties—Stéphane Hubert Benhamdine, Joëlle Stéphanie Daub-Laurent, Xavier Thibault Vinçon, and Sonia Jeanne Candel—set out for a day-long walk through the Parc de Saint-Cloud, a journey that threads together the present with memories carried by Sylvia, Stéphane’s sister who has been missing for some time. The day’s rhythm is braided with Sylvia’s voice-over, recalling a dream in which a woman who looks like her calls out to the group, and with a photograph taken years earlier of the five friends during a sunlit summer on Primrose Hill in London.
