Palme d'Or-nominated French drama written and directed by Léonor Serraille (Montparnasse Bienvenüe), a portrait of a family told from multiple perspectives over the span of 20 years.
After moving to France from the Ivory Coast in the 1980s, young mother Rose (Annabelle Lengronne) must work low-paying jobs to raise Jean and Ernest. Yet Rose seems an indomitable force of nature; her enthusiasm for life in her new country apparently inextinguishable, her trust that she will land on her feet and find love unshakable.
