Olivier does the best he can to fight injustice at work. But when one day, without warning, his wife Laura abandons the family home, he is left alone to juggle between the children’s needs, life’s daily challenges and his job. Faced with these new responsibilities, Olivier struggles to find a balance. Because Laura is not coming back.

Guillaume Senez's follow-up to his acclaimed debut 'Keeper', another intimate, thoughtful portrait of a family in quiet crisis, benefits from a fine ensemble cast and a committed central performance by Romain Duris.
