You thought you knew the person you love…

Laurence and Nina each think they’re in a happy exclusive relationship with their partner, Marc. But when he suddenly dies, they discover to their horror that he was leading a double life, sharing it between his girlfriend, the mother of his two children, and his official wife.

The two widows have to find some way of making a fresh start in life. Laurence, who thought she had it all, comes to the realisation that she’s missed out on something in her life, while Nina, caught between her desire for a child and her professional ambitions, realises that she chose the wrong brother.

War, emergency, pandemics and hunger. Everywhere on the planet, humanitarian workers are used to the most extreme and contrasted missions and contexts.
Conversely, rare are those humanitarians who venture into the realm of the intimate. Forty humanitarian workers and their loved ones did just this, confiding straightforwardly about the risk, the commitment, the first time, the powerlessness, the encounters, the passion, the return home and the unspeakable. In this film, which is logically turned towards others, the question of the selfishness of those who make the commitment is also raised and taken as a given. Openly and without pretention, the witnesses in this film tell us who they are and speak of their commitment to others, their doubts, their weaknesses and the images that haunt them.

Alexandra Ehle is a coroner at the Bordeaux forensic institute. Fanciful and free-thinking, she devotes herself completely to what she considers her mission: restoring to the dead their dignity and human appearence, and giving them justice. So she conducts her own investigations, despite the warnings of police commander Antoine Doisneau. Instead of collaborating with him, she takes a cheeky pleasure in staying one step ahead.
During this latest inquiry, body parts have been found in different locations in the region. From the first observations, Alexandra is convinced that all the parts belong to one and the same victim. But the puzzle still needs to be solved to discover who she was and what led her to this tragic end.
