During an evening in 2001, a nine-year old Charlotte Veille explores her father's study, looking at the plaques, awards, and photos from his time as a Navy pilot. After he finds her, she asks about a photo of him and his squadron in front of a jet taken when they were stationed aboard the aircraft carrier RAS Stavanger during the Refusal War. Charlotte's father shares a story about him and his squadronmates, and when Charlotte asks him about his time in the Navy he is hesitant to reply and simply stares at the photograph of his old squadron. After Charlotte presses him, he tells her that it was the best and worst time of his life. Whilst playing with a friend in the front yard of her home on the rural southern coast of Côte d'Or the next day, Charlotte is distracted by a pair of Navy fighter jets flying relatively low from the nearby Narbonne and is unable to take her eyes off of them until they disappear over the horizon.
