Olivier arrives in Versailles to fulfill a somber duty: to bury his mother just before Christmas. The season, typically filled with joy, starkly contrasts with his heavy heart as he navigates the fragile family dynamics and memories tied to his childhood home. Faced with a bittersweet nostalgia, he grapples with loss and the complexities of familial relationships during what should be a festive time.

As Olivier prepares for the funeral, he finds himself reflecting on his past and the weight of expectations that surround him. The picturesque setting of Versailles transforms into a backdrop for introspection, revealing the intricacies of love, regret, and the inevitable passage of time. Amidst the holiday preparations, Olivier wrestles with his grief, making for a poignant exploration of what it means to truly come home.
