Logline: Vivaldi, barely into her teens, is already a former promising fencer. Suddenly incapable of winning, she is made by her mother to watch video footage of herself: her fencing competitions are taped over home movies of the last family holiday before her parents split up, when she was still a little girl. Due to a technical glitch in the device, the past resurfaces in the form of enigmatic fragments. A scrap of footage she herself shot as a child will reveal a secret that had been kept from her until now, forcing her to confront her passage to adulthood head on.
