Étienne (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart) is barely 20 when he falls in love with Valérie, and when daughter Rosa (Céleste Brunnquell) is born. Then one day Valérie leaves them, without explanation, leaving Étienne to bring up Rosa alone. Father and daughter are devoted to each other, and a unique and happy bond forms between them. Happy, that is, until Rosa, aged 17, leaves the nest to study in an art school, and wants to know who her mother is. For Étienne too, it’s time to move forward with girlfriend Hélène (Maud Wyler). Erwan Le Duc’s quirky, tender, and beautiful family journey is filled with energy, and even a little slapstick humour; it’s a unique and very personal story with brilliant chemistry between father and daughter.
