Synopsis
Bàrbara, a seller of international literary rights, settles in Paris as a refuge. To leave behind an experience that has unhinged her, she goes to live with her grandmother, Margaux, with whom she has a very special bond. One morning in 2008, the year of the big snowfall, Barbara finds a young stranger sleeping on her red couch. The enigmatic photographer -who never takes pictures of people- will help her in an unexpected quest. Together, they will discover the secrets of Mamie Margaux, a woman who survived the German occupation of Paris in World War II.
