Elizabeth is the eldest surviving daughter, summoned from a convent after her elder sister's death to help her parents on the farm. As she investigates the family's silence and reads the dead woman's confessions, she begins to question their religious rules, defend her sister, and openly rebel before being sent away again. La Mère (played by Sabine Timoteo) appears in Thunder.
La Mère is Elizabeth's mother and a guardian of the family's strict religious order. After the death of her daughter, she helps maintain the silence surrounding the event and joins the effort to restrain Elizabeth when her defense of her sister becomes defiant.

Le Père (played by François Revaclier) appears in Thunder.
Le Père is Elizabeth's father, whose earlier choice of prayer as protection against misfortune helped shape the family's severe religious life.
