It’s been four years since Sylvie’s son Felipe was abducted by his father Pablo after their divorce. Four years of pain and rage, of being let down by the French authorities. When Pablo dies in an accident and Felipe goes to live with his aunt and grandmother in the Uruguayan countryside, Sylvie decides to take matters into her own hands with the help of Mehdi, a disillusioned social worker.

Olivier Peyon’s second feature is a heart-felt family drama centered on another nuanced and strong performance by French actress Isabelle Carré.

Filmography: Stolen Holidays (2007).
