Pierre's daily life is turned upside down when his mother decides to return to his life and take the place she believes she should occupy. The clash of two opposing personalities—one whimsical, the other introverted—who struggle to express their love for each other and must confront unspoken feelings, regrets, and remorse. Julien Carpentier crafts a personal film that never slips into predictable melodrama, instead offering unexpected smiles. The radiant Agnès Jaoui brings light and energy to her character and to a theme rarely explored in cinema. Meanwhile, William Lebghil portrays his role with sensitivity and restraint. An emotional, humorous, and therapeutic road trip.
