Bordeaux, 1987. On Christmas Eve, five-year-old Linda, nine-year-old Biram, and their older brother Roger live far from their mother, who remained in Gabon. When Roger leaves for a weekend escape, the younger siblings are left on their own. As they encounter snow for the first time, wonder turns to risk, and a quiet night becomes a fragile adventure between innocence and danger.
