Violette Toussaint, a cemetery caretaker in a small town in Burgundy, is a unique observer and a compassionate listener. Her peaceful life is filled by conversations with quirky cemetery workers and the many visitors who share their stories of love, loss, and life. However, her routine is disrupted when a local police chief arrives at her door with an unusual request. As they grow closer, Violette comes to understand that the truth behind long-buried mysteries in her past must be uncovered if she wants to take another chance on life and, against all odds, love.

在一位电影制片人的鼓励下，两个朋友格雷格（Greg）和乔纳斯（Jonas）正在一座乡间别墅里撰写一部电影剧本。由于格雷格的心思被正在旅行的女友维奥莱特（Violette）分散了，乔纳斯决定邀请两个女孩来共度周末。
