Synopsis

Céline Fraser arrives on a small island in the south of France. The young woman immediately presents herself at the local branch of a regional newspaper for which she is supposed to work. But the director, who personally hired her, is absent, and no one seems to be informed of her arrival. Alone, Céline rents a house and settles into her new life. However, she is prone to unexplained anxiety attacks, which complicate her relationships with her colleagues, Pierre, Mélanie, and Simone.
