Céleste Beaumont, jazz pianist, has reached the twilight of her days. Alone in her New York apartment, she looks back on her life and decides to record it all in a diary that she sends to her artist son, whom she has not seen in years. The diary disrupts the life of her son Blaudel and her grandson Antoine. Through the boy's eyes, the story of Céleste's life unfolds. In the end Antoine sets out to find her in New York.
