2016, French. Directed by Dominic Goyer.
David happily brings his wife and new baby to his parents to celebrate his birthday. All goes well until the next day, when he finds that his mother – a filmmaker – has committed suicide.

Bewildered, he starts to look for answers and finds a hidden side of his mother’s life.
