action
New Year's Eve 2008: Camille is 40, works in small roles in film and has just been left by her husband Éric for a younger girl. Their apartment will be sold shortly, which Camille is reluctant to do. She always drinks too much alcohol. While packing, she finds a wristwatch that she received from her parents for her 16th birthday. Her mother died shortly afterwards and she regrets that her own daughter never heard her voice. Camille goes to a New Year's Eve party, but shortly beforehand makes a detour to a watchmaker. She has a battery inserted in her old watch and a ring cut from her finger that she once received from Eric. Then she goes to the New Year's Eve party hosted by her friend Josepha. Together with Louise and Alice, they have both formed an inseparable quartet since school, but have not seen each other for several years. Louise is now blind. When the clock strikes midnight, Camille passes out.
She wakes up in a hospital. Although she looks the same as before, she is perceived by those around her as a 15-year-old. She soon realizes that it is January 1st, 1985 and she was obviously extremely drunk on New Year's Eve. She is picked up by her parents, who are appalled by the daughter's behavior. Camille is amazed that the mother is still alive. At home she moves into her children's room and a little later after the end of the Christmas break she goes to school, where she meets Josepha, Louise and Alice again. Éric is also a student at the school. Because she knows that he will one day cheat on her, she treats him dismissively, which is what makes her interesting for him. In the theater hour Lovers of Carlo Goldoni practiced. Éric plays the male lead, while the silent Alice is supposed to play the female lead. She fails and Eric suggests Camille as his partner. She has already played the piece in the present and knows the text. Although she initially refuses, she is occupied and convinces the theater director. Later, Eric invites the friends to his party and Camille reluctantly goes with him. She has fun and dances exuberantly and soon also with Eric, who finally wants to bring her home. She is frustrated and tells her friends that he will say that he will kiss her at the first lantern, but will not do it until the third lantern. In fact, that's how it works and the friends are surprised. Arriving at her front door, Camille separates from Éric and announces that she will never see him again, since he has destroyed her life and will do it again. He thinks she is crazy and leaves.
Camille knows what's going to happen. She doesn't respond when Louise tells her and the others that a doctor has determined she will go blind. However, she would like to prevent the death of her mother, whose voice she is recording on cassette. When she repeatedly complains of headaches, Camille calls a doctor and asks him to do a CAT scan on the mother . She is not taken seriously and the mother also finds her fear exaggerated. Camille turns to her physics teacher Alphonse Da Costa, who is a little older than she is now, for help. She tells him that she has traveled into the past, but he doesn't believe her. She said that her mother would die in 39 days from a cerebral haemorrhage and asked him to organize a CAT scan for her. However, the investigation did not reveal any irregularities.
It's Camille's 16th birthday and she and Alice break into an outdoor pool again, where their friends regularly go swimming in the evenings. She doesn't know that Louise also brought Eric here, who fell in love with Camille and is desperate because of her coolness. Eric gives her a photo that he secretly took of Camille and that she has never seen. Shortly afterwards, Camille and Éric flee from a security guard in one of the cabins and come closer here. They sleep together. At home, Camille receives the watch from her parents. When she visits Alphonse again, she reminds him that her mother will die in 13 days. She wants to sleep with him because she knows that she has to get pregnant to have her daughter. Shortly afterwards, a pregnancy test shows her that she is already pregnant. As in the present, the father is Eric. She told her mother the day before her death that she was expecting a child. Your mother is disappointed and upset. The next day, Camille stays at home and is always close to her mother. She wants to help her with the housework, but her mother sends her to study. When Camille leaves, her mother collapses dead. Camille listens to the tapes on which she recorded the voices of her mother and father. She packs the tapes and brings them to Alphonse. He should keep it until she picks it up from him in many years. Although he doesn't understand it, he believes her time travel due to the death of her mother. He's the only person Camille really trusts. She doesn't want to know anything more about Eric, who gives her a ring and confesses his love to her, but tells him that she is expecting a child from him. Since Eric suspects that she has a relationship with Alphonse, he separates from her too. Because both no longer speak to each other, the theater director is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He locks them both in the theater dressing room, but that doesn't lead to a reconciliation. Shortly afterwards they both go on stage for a rehearsal and Eric sees that Camille is wearing his ring on his finger. She tried in vain to get it off her finger, and the watchmaker she went to didn't want to remove the ring either. In the middle of the rehearsals, Eric changes the text and speaks through the ring on her finger. Camille, feeling bad, admits that she loves Eric. Shortly afterwards she collapses.
She wakes up on New Year's Day 2009 on Josepha's sofa. At first she thinks she had a strange dream, but goes to see Alphonse, who is still living in the apartment he was then. He has grown old, but recognizes Camille immediately. He admits that he had thought of her all the time and hands her the envelope she entrusted to him at the time. Only now does she know that her experience was real. She meets with Eric. While tidying up, he found the photo he once gave her. He's never seen it before, but Camille tells him when she received it. She admits that she loves him and will always love him. Both go apart in reconciliation.
