In their council flat in the suburbs of Paris, Nicole (52) and her son, Serge (19), live a fusional love that flourishes against all odds. But as the Christmas holidays approach, turning their relationship and their life upside down.

Une vie rêvée

Two brothers decide to revive what still unites them, one last time.

Wake the Dead

Vincent, still of tender age, has already tattooed most of his body and hoarsened his voice with his post-hardcore band – his way of venting his frustrations and desires. Ever since his mother died, he shares his time between Porte de Clignancourt and Bastille, between a piercer job he is unhappy with and his fishmonger father, Hervé, who is trying to start a new life with a younger woman named Julia. Vincent is initially appalled by the woman, with whom his father has ‘betrayed’ his mother, but the more they get to know each other, the more he becomes intrigued by the beautiful and empathetic woman. Unlike his father, she shows interest in him, even attending one of his gigs. What starts out as a potential way of reconciling with his father soon implodes.
