Robert drives his car along the country roads in the company of his two friends Antoine and Louis. He is obsessed with the incandescent feeling of his childhood love, Hélène. After several years of absence and many letters exchanged, he receives a final letter announcing her return. Passionate and unrestrained, Robert will have to face the resurgent memory, taking with him all forms of reasonable reality.

An ultra-orthodox Jewish family from Aix-les-Bains comes to a farm in southern Italy for a brief stay every year to carry out a sacred mission: harvesting citrons. Here Elio, the farm owner, meets Esther, the rabbi’s daughter, who is tired of the constraints imposed by her religion. Through this relationship, Esther will understand the importance of freedom and find her path, and, in the same way, Elio will find the peace he had lost for a long time.

Antoine is at the wheel of a car with an unconscious boy beside him. Throughout the night, he has to contend with the storm threatening the mountain top.
