The narrator, who lives alone with her two children, finds a photograph of her father as a young man, four years after his death. He is surrounded by five people she does not know, and she needs to find out who they are. Following these memories, she meets one Jean Moretti, once the life of the party and now blind, a painter, and the son of one of the people in the photo, with whom she falls in love. Her search takes her from Montreal to France by way of Abitibi and the Laurentians, and the revived past gives new impetus to her present.
