Michelle is a schizophrenic who has just come out of a psychiatric institution. Having been supervised, monitored and treated during her stay, she can no longer deny her condition-try as she might to forget it. Finding refuge in the Québec bookstore where she works, this tortured poet seems almost serene. But no one knows what she sees and hears when she lets her gaze drift across the violent snow squalls that sweep the city. Not the customer she patiently serves, nor the lost tourist whom she helps. Not even her sister, Marie. And yet the ghosts, the self-inflicted wounds, the paranoia... they still weigh on her. But she refuses to admit defeat to this illness. When a student wanders into the bookstore, Michelle rediscovers her love of creating with words. Through this chance meeting of two completely different people, Michelle gradually finds her way out of the darkness. .
