Little is known about the figure of Isabel Santaló, an old artist, today fallen into oblivion. But occasionally some visitors come to her flat. Through them and the voice of Antonio López (Dream of Light, Víctor Erice), the only painter who remembers her, we shape a multifaceted film. This is a cinematic portrait, which well into the film takes a surprising turn.

On the occasion of her grand return to her hometown in Normandy, as she explores the places of her early childhood, this icon of several generations looks back on her youth and what made her the committed woman and writer she has become. Through a geographical and narrative journey covering her first 25 years, which resonated throughout the following 60 years, the film—the only one she has agreed to participate in since winning the Nobel Prize—offers a "different" portrait of Annie Ernaux, interweaving her personal memories, her writings, and the history of the 20th century.
