synopsis

Entangled in a realm of thought, 12-year-old Marie has trouble growing up. When her young mother brings home a new boyfriend, questions remain unanswered and communication becomes impossible. Frantic, Marie tries to win back her mother while she secretly finds solace in a world of memories.
Enfermée dans un royaume de pensées, Marie, 12 ans, a du mal à grandir. Lorsque sa jeune mère ramène un nouveau petit-ami à la maison, certaines questions restent sans réponse et la communication semble impossible. Marie essaie frénétiquement de récupérer sa mère tandis qu’elle trouve silencieusement du réconfort dans un monde de souvenirs.
