In partnership with the French Embassy in Ireland

For as long as they can remember, Marion, Claire and Louise (Sophie Breyer, Mara Taquin and Bonnie Duvauchelle) have been living with the severe emotional ups and downs of their mother, Alice (Ludivine Sagnier). Now Marion plans on taking a gap year and travelling to Brazil just as Alice’s downward spiral starts to accelerate. Christophe Hermans’ debut feature is a superbly paced tale of a young family struggling to live with a parent’s mental illness, featuring exceptional performances from Sagnier and her young co-leads.
