Les Tracances

Four distant cousins are part of a wider family group which can be traced to the last occupant of a house in rural Normandy abandoned in 1944. Seb, Abdel, Céline and Guy, discover there the existence of Adèle Vermillard, their ancestor who in 1895 aged 21 left her native Normandy for Paris in search of her mother. While exploring the house, left untouched since the 1940s, they excavate the life of their ancestor - photos and paintings from the end of the 19th century are preserved in the house, along with letters to Adèle which help them form a picture of her story. On her journey to Paris Adèle becomes friends with two aspiring artists; Anatole, a painter and Lucien, a photographer, who accompany her in the search for her parents. In the course of their modern-day discoveries the cousins find in the relics of the past what will call into question their present.
