This is the true story of a couple from Northern Ireland, whose lives having been turned upside down, feel they have nothing left to lose. Together they grasp a second chance at happiness and selling everything, purchase a rundown ecclesiastical building at the heart of a tiny village in southwest France.

They dance in the shadows others cast on the ground, they walk a few paces behind; they hide in objects and evoke memories; they manipulate the senses to assume different forms: familiar faces, special places, certain times. And their voices are many; voices of children, favourite books, musical instruments, lived-in houses, and a thousand others. Shadows of the past, shadows of the future, shadows present everywhere...
