Nineteen-year-old Lise sits on a metal stool in a police station, ready to be heard. What happened?
Flashback. Lise is seven years old. Has she been dreaming, or have the arguments between her parents been escalating for several months?
Her father, Bernard, so tender with her, is authoritarian and angry with her mother. And, above all, he is dangerously fond of the company of other women: his factory workers, the new neighbor, and even the young Englishwoman who gives Lise lessons… As Lise grows up, all these women see their lives shattered. Is it chance?
In this cruel tale, Sonia Feertchak vividly traces the chaotic journey of a young woman raised in a family where lies and ambiguity reign supreme.
