“Don't dig up the ghosts of the past.”
Julie just started university in Bordeaux. She moves into the house of Elizabeth, an old widow who lends her a room in exchange for her help with daily chores. There’s one condition: acting as if Victor, Elizabeth’s dead husband, was still alive. But soon, Julie starts feeling his presence… and an inescapable and dangerous love triangle begins.
