1954. Élisa and Gustin are getting married.
The celebration is in full swing—filled with laughter, sarcasm, unspoken confessions of love, and family secrets.
But in the shadows of this trembling union, the Algerian War begins to stir.
This day of joy becomes a metaphor for life: the guests, in search of love, happiness, or recognition, slip seamlessly between the present and their memories—through flashes of childhood, unprocessed grief, and wounded hopes.
Memory intertwines with History; moments of festivity brush against the gravity of the world.
A deeply human family saga where, with tenderness, humor, and sharp insight, the past resurfaces with every burst of laughter—
and where, slowly, the turtles come on their own.
