Synopsis: On the death of their mother, Nora and Agnès see their father Gustav reappear in their lives. A film director, Gustav has written a screenplay in which he would like Nora, now an actress, to play the lead role, but she refuses. During a retrospective of his work at a French film festival, Gustav meets a young Hollywood star who, overwhelmed by one of his films, expresses a desire to work with him. He offered her the role originally written for Nora, seeing this as an unhoped-for opportunity to relaunch her career. Shooting in Norway becomes an opportunity for Gustav to confront his demons, and gives him one last chance to reconnect with his daughters.
