After a divorce and a layoff from a prestigious job, 52-year-old Nicole’s life is far from what she imagined. She moves from a bourgeois neighborhood to a poor immigrant housing estate in the far suburbs of Paris and the only light in her life is her 19-year-old son, Serge, but he is fed up with his needy mother whom he can no longer tolerate. Nicole’s situation worsens when her checkbook and credit card are canceled. A meeting with Nora, the owner of the local bar, finally provides Nicole with some comfort. But can Serge cope with the change his mother is going through?
French/Italian cinema icon with Jewish roots, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi (star of François Ozon’s films: “The Time That Remains”, “Summer of ’85”, “5X2”) plays Nicole with great passion, while Lubna Azabal (“The Blue Caftan”, “Incendies”) as Nora plays a character full of insight and wisdom.
