Description

January 1957, in a small town in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. A middle-class house, the home of two sisters, Clara and Thérèse, whose characters could not be more different. After their father is institutionalized, the two women take over the family business, which specializes in precision optics.

The Hungarian's presence causes ripples in the seemingly unchangeable life of the two sisters...
