Marguerite de Rancière published an autobiographical novel that propelled her into the media spotlight. In this brutal novel, some members of her family are publicly dragged through the mud. Inevitably, the ties are severed. Since then, Marguerite has lost her inspiration.
It’s been six years since she last saw her family, since she last set foot in that country house, and more specifically in that garden, where Georges, her stepfather, has just taken his own life. The day before the funeral, Marguerite decides to return. Her mother, her sister, her uncle, and her half-brother are all gathered for the occasion. Around the garden table, a few steps from the very spot where Georges killed himself, the reunion has a bitter taste. Like daggers, resentments spare no one.
