Synopsis
Gabrielle, an imaginative but cautious child, spends the summer at the cottage with her family. While her brother and sisters enjoy the last swims of the summer, the youngest stays indoors with her dog and many toys, too afraid of the sun and thunderstorms. In spite of herself, Gabrielle finds herself exposed to the elements. Under the caring eye of her family, the young child gradually finds the courage to face her fears.
