At 16, Alex lives without a maternal figure following the death of her mother. In this small town in the Ardennes, she takes on herself the task of replacing her mother, which only serves to revive the grief of her father, Franck. Tenderness and desire are dangerously cohabiting. Meeting up with Hector, 22, who has been infantilized by an imperious aunt, forces Alex to confront her own relationship with her father.

"In filming looks, facial expressions, portraits ((Stéphan Carpaux) delivers an intimate and authentic work which provokes delicate emotions." (Revue de presse)

Deborah François is « santsational » (Ciné Live)
