Do we really know those who are closest to us? Do we want to know them? And they? Do they really want us to know them?
A son tries to understand the troubled past of his mother, Fleurette, 79 years old. Notwithstanding her resistance to his questions, little by little, throughout the film she reveals secret or voluntarily forgotten events; almost another life that emerges as a revelation often shocking.
