The director offers a road movie to Christine, his best friend: crossing the south of France in search of a farewell letter left by her father – and perhaps a form of acceptance of her mother's tyrannical behavior. But nothing goes as planned. Encounters and obstacles transform this introspective odyssey into a tragicomic journey.

🗞️ "Friendship was one of the driving forces of the story, and it became the central figure of the film. That's ultimately what's at stake. How one helps the other to tell their story. How one helps the other to move forward, literally and figuratively. How one helps the other to protect themselves from violence. The film ultimately tells this bond in what makes it different from others." (Jean Boiron-Lajous)
