Synopsis: Erwan, a steadfast Breton deminer, suddenly loses his footing when he learns that his father is not his father. Despite all the tenderness he feels for the man who raised him, Erwan discreetly investigates and finds his progenitor: Joseph, a most endearing old man for whom he develops a deep affection. As good things never come alone, Erwan crosses paths with the elusive Anna, whom he sets out to seduce. But one day, while visiting Joseph, Erwan realizes that Anna is nothing less than his half-sister. A bombshell made all the more difficult to defuse by the fact that his adopted father now suspects Erwan of hiding something from him...
