Synopsis
After twenty years of silence as a result of an emotional breakdown, an unfit mother decides to move in the same city as her two daughters. Unfortunately, the family reunion goes wrong. While one of the daughters, married but unwilling to have a child, makes an effort to communicate, she is constantly brushed off. Whereas the other, an arrogant single mother, doesn't want to have anything to do with her mother and keeps rehashing her resentment. To set the record straight and elicit the love she's always denied them, the two sisters decide to kidnap their mom.

Press Quotes
Alexandra Leclere (...) focuses her expertise and signs a tragicomedy sprinkled with humor, a bit absurd and extremely moving.
« Alexandra Leclère helped by her three actresses, finally sets up her own style, simple but effective(…). Josiane Balasko is the big winner, portraying here one of her most beautiful and surprising roles. »
