In this short and uneven film about a single mother and her brood, the difficulties and obstacles involved in loving someone are presented with sympathy and fine sentiment, yet the film is slow in parts and although short, could have been advantageously edited to a still briefer length.

加布里耶·劳伦斯和弗朗索瓦·劳伦斯是一对双胞胎兄弟，加布里埃居住在比利时，是一名穷困潦倒的私家侦探，而弗朗索瓦则是风光的生意人，有一个叛逆但爱自己的女儿贾德。突如其来的车祸夺走了弗朗索瓦的生命，由于兄弟俩多年以来的疏远以及两人母亲的病情，加布里耶没有在哥哥的葬礼上露面。弗朗索瓦的女儿贾德找到加布里耶，她不相信父亲的离世是一场意外，并请作为侦探的加布里耶帮忙调查父亲去世的真相。
