Julie, a Montreal teenager who lives alone in a vacant swimming pool, spends her days following strangers. Abandoned by her father, she searches for the meaning of courage, love and desire in her observation of others. A longing for her father leads her to Hank, a wanderer from Alberta who is seeking V�ronique, an ex-lover he ditched one night in Mexico. Intrigued by Hank's obsession and the possibility of finding her father, Julie helps Hank in his quest.
People believe they can move through their lives without being seen. But they're not invisible. Everybody leaves traces behind him or her, like a vapour trail of their breath. This trail is almost imperceptible. When it vanishes, they become anonymous in the world, but when it's found they're no longer alone. The only time a person can be truly alone is when they are dreaming or dying. -- Roy Cross
