During a book signing in Normandy, Annie Ernaux, 70, revisits her memories of the summer of 1958, when she was 17. That summer, she left her hometown to work as a camp counsellor. At the first party, the head counsellor set out to deflower her. Finding him handsome, she lets him do it, as if against her will... Her body becomes a foreign place for her, an offering to be sacrificed.

The film follows the 70-year-old writer as she reflects on a transformative and troubling summer in 1958, when at age 17 she worked as a camp counsellor in Normandy and experienced a formative encounter that left her feeling disconnected from her own body.
