Réjeanne (Guylaine Tremblay) is a switchboard operator whose life is thrown into turmoil when her husband, Gilles (Guy Jodoin), suffers an apparent debilitating stroke.
The film transpires in the past and the present, as a police officer (René-Daniel Dubois) in the latter tries to solve Gilles's suspicious death (did Réjeanne kill her husband or not?
A sparse, deliberately paced film, shot in a cinéma-vérité style that continues director Bernard Émond's exploration of the theological themes of faith, hope and charity.
