    • Synopsis
    • Manon, a 16-year-old introverted teenager, is forced to live with her unbearable grandmother Yvonne, a former feminist activist with Alzheimer's disease. The situation gets worse when Yvonne, confused, starts taking Manon for her daughter.
      Against all odds, Manon enters Yvonne's fantasy and re-enacts the role of her mother, whom she hardly knew. This is an opportunity for her to discover the true history of the women in her family and to learn, herself, how to become one.
