Audrey a quitté Éric. Reste leur fils de sept ans, Mathieu : Audrey le met chez sa mère, « en attendant ». Mais en attendant quoi ? De trouver un logement, un emploi, un compagnon stable ? Tout le monde voudrait savoir quoi faire de la jeune femme, bonne ou mauvaise mère, amante désirable ou "ex" qu’on ne veut plus voir, et elle, elle veut seulement se sentir vivante.

A la recherche d’une amie disparue, Astrid mène l’enquête pour comprendre pourquoi il y a neuf ans, celle-ci a choisi de mettre un terme à leur relation, sans donner d’explications. L’enquête devient introspection : L’amitié et le rapport aux autres en question.

Trude was my grand-mother. An admirable woman, a survivor from the camps, a terrible woman. The imperious will to survive. I wouldn’t film her, ever. I didn’t want to look back, I didn’t want to hear of death, I didn’t want survival. I wanted life. I wanted to be free. Until Trude’s unbending way of speaking started to bend. I then understood the time had come to come to her and look at her, freely. To film life and death, my own way, at the present.
