What it’s about

The Dormeuil family moves to the small Breton island of Kernolé hoping for a new beginning. Olivia, a successful journalist, has paused her career because she is pregnant with her second child; her husband Paul has taken a job as the island's doctor. Their teenage daughter Camille is unhappy about the move and resentful toward her mother, whom she accuses of always putting work first. Camille, an inventive science enthusiast, is intrigued by the island's powerful electromagnetic disturbances. She believes they might prove her theory that waves are connected to the afterlife.
