Julien, 18, visits his half-brothers without warning. Max, 26, lives in an travelers' camp in the middle of the CĂ©vennes forest. The two brothers had not seen each other for several years. Julien falls in love with Lise, an occasional mistress of Max with whom he makes some music. This chaotic affair upsets Julien and brings to the foreground the family conflicts that they have never addressed.
