Sous ma fenêtre, la boue

The Mud Under My Window

The 14-year-old Emma lives with one of her mothers, Hélène. Her other mother lives far away. Emma rarely sees her, but projects the image of the perfect mother onto her, while she treats Hélène with resentment and hostility. This duality of roles offers Emma a sense of reassurance. But then an argument with Hélène forces Emma to question these attributions. Meanwhile Hélène, for her part, becomes aware of her own contradictions. Neither of them is used to having such an emotional confrontation (anymore). They awkwardly begin to search for a common path.
