Who remembers Valérie, disappeared in the Alps in 1983? What happened to the young waitress supected of having murdered a Canadian tourist? The narrator returns to the places where he stayed twenty years ago. He investigates around the mountain villages, in the chasms, along the alpin lakefronts. He covers the whole region and interrogates. Testimonies succeed one another but no one knows anything. Valérie seems to be running away for the second time, to vanish. The imposing landscapes seem to have swallowed up her.
How one disappears? How this young woman let no trace? Nothing about her life, no rememberings of her passing. As she ever existed?
