A grave, methodical examination of institutional abuse and survivor solidarity, grounded in the painful work of breaking silence and demanding accountability.

Alexandre, a man in his 40s living in Lyon with his wife and children, discovers that the priest who abused him decades ago continues to work with children. He joins forces with others victims of the priest, to bring justice and “lift the burden of silence” about what they endured.
