Sans elle

After discovering she has a serious health problem, Camille, a violinist, returns home from Florence to her family in Quebec after a two year absence. She recalls the reason she left home in the first place—the mysterious disappearance of her mother, Hélène.

Disappointed by the rest of her family, who have given up any hope of finding Hélène, Camille returns to Matane, where she last saw her. Once there, the young woman discovers maps and an address, which lead her to believe Hélène is in Iles-de-la-Madeleine.
