Framboise returns to the small town where she was born, in rural France, and opens a restaurant that quickly becomes famous, thanks to the recipes in an old notebook that belonged to her mother. This kind of diary also contains strange notes whose deciphering will shed new light on the dramatic events that marked the protagonist's childhood in the distant days of the Nazi occupation. Framboise remembers the tastes and feelings of her childhood, in a France marked by the pain and hardship of war, and especially an episode that marked the family's life and constitutes, for her, the definitive loss of innocence. Now, in the autumn of her life, the time has come to face the difficult truth.
