SYNOPSIS
The seaside in winter. A lonely young woman wanders the beach, haunted by the tragic memories of her childhood. Summer, it seems, belongs to the past.
For years Elise has lived with a few fragments of the family that broke apart – a photograph of the father she never knew; memories of the sister who walked across the beach one afternoon and never came back; and the jagged edge of her mother’s sanity, held together by newspaper clippings of unsolved crimes.
Marooned in her grief, Elise finds it difficult to connect to the people around her, even when they reach out. Her life feels small, uncertain. As if it’s happening to someone else.
But this winter, for lots of unexpected reasons, something finally shifts. Even if the sand dunes refuse to yield up their secrets, Elise discovers there is a way to be happy again. She finds the courage to confront the past, unlock her heart, and begin to live her own life at last.
