Synopsis:
A family story made up of minor events: two loving parents, four children and a sister who has just separated. Economic worries, an elderly son who is a champion of handball and has been asked to go to Germany, an announced farewell  but which comes just a little too early… The mother, played by a splendid Karine Teles, is eaten up by the grief of the separation from her son but she does not show it. A great deal of emotion in a film narrated withlightness.
