Isabelle works late nursing shifts, so her daughter is alone after school. One afternoon Julien gives the girl shelter and talks to her about butterflies. She enters a room he had told her was out of bounds and lets some of the butterflies escape, so he bars her. Julien plans a week on the Vercors plateau hunting a rare butterfly, the Isabelle, which lives three days. Elsa hides in the back of his car.
