Drama

Forty-eight-year-old Alain Evrard is obliged to return home to live with his mother. This situation causes all the violence of their past relationship to rise to the surface. Alain then discovers that his mother has a fatal illness. In the last months of her life, will they finally be capable of taking a step toward each other?

VIBE

A heavy, introspective drama that digs into the raw, uncomfortable dynamics of a fraught mother-son relationship. It feels like a quiet, somber reckoning with the past as the shadow of mortality looms large.
