Lisa and her adopted sister, Marie, adore one another, are inseparable, and form an equally tight triumvirate with their sometimes-tipsy mom. Life is beautiful in their all-girl world! So when Marie falls in love and Alex enters the scene, the entire family is suddenly turned upside-down. They struggle to regain some sort of equilibrium… when fate throws them an even more tragic curveball. Denis Ménochet brings enormous sensitivity and subtlety to his role as Alex in Mélanie Laurent’s exuberant, heart-rending, very accomplished directorial debut.
