Inspired by true events, the film begins in 1963 on Reunion island. Camelien (10) and his sister Lenais (5) are torn away from their mother to participate in the re-population of the French departments affected by the rural exodus. Transferred in mid winter in the Creuse, Camelien serves as labor in an isolated farm where he sleeps in the middle of cattle. Despite these inhumane conditions and the ignorance that surrounds him, he finds a brief comfort in the gentleness of Lucile Roblin (Marie Bunel), the wife of the farmer. The despair of the child is however unbearable when he sees his sister in the children's home…12 years later, Lucile who has adopted Lenais takes her to Reunion island to meet her mother, in search of the children's past.
