16-year-old Maxime is a talented swimmer and is preparing to enter the sports studies programme. One afternoon, the police turn up during training to question his coach, who has been accused of sexual abuse by one of the other children in the club. These accusations crack the shell of silence that Max has built to survive the abuse he himself suffered years earlier.
