Sylvie works at a local Brest nightclub and lives alone with her two sons. Efira brings to vivid life the story of a young mother caught in a system that insists mistakes cannot be made. She brilliantly portrays a courageous woman fighting against the judicial and administrative machine to recover custody of her son.

“With her brisk, insightful, moving, first film, Deloget has done more than leave a calling-card. She has created, in tandem with her superb star, a vigorous exercise in empathy and a remarkably soulful tribute to all the strong, capable but unconventional mothers out there, who ask little of the world, except to be allowed to raise their children as only they can, with any lack of attention to the letter of parenting law made up for by an abundance of idiosyncratic love.” – Variety
