Synopsis

After twenty years of silence as a result of an emotional breakdown, an unfit mother decides to move in the same city as her two daughters. Unfortunately, the family reunion goes wrong. While one of the daughters, married but unwilling to have a child, makes an effort to communicate, she is constantly brushed off. Whereas the other, an arrogant single mother, doesn't want to have anything to do with her mother and keeps rehashing her resentment. To set the record straight and elicit the love she's always denied them, the two sisters decide to kidnap their mom. Director Alexandra Leclère digs up her own and painful memories in this violent and off-beat comedy.
