Synopsis

Alice has deeply buried feelings and memories for her sister Manon, who is about to be married. During their childhood, the two sisters were extremely close not only emotionally, but also sexually. With news of the wedding, the pain of the past resurfaces and Alice's relationship with her girlfriend Elsa starts to fall apart. As the wedding approaches, Alice reminisces about her childhood, and has trouble letting go of her incestuous relationship with Manon.
