A strong woman, who has always been able to juggle the day-to-day demands of career and family, the devastation causes Nathalie’s life to crumble. Despite the tragedy, she finds a newfound sense of liberation. With nothing to hold her back, Nathalie sets out to define this new phase of her life and to rediscover herself.
