In their council flat in the suburbs of Paris, Nicole (52) and her son, Serge (19), live a fusional love that flourishes against all odds. Nicole is unemployed, unable to find a job; with skyrocketing credit card debt, she’s forced to hand over her check-book and debit card on the spot, just a few days before Christmas. Mother and son’s relationship and life are turned upside down. At rock bottom, Nicole will glimpse a glimmer of hope by getting closer to the enigmatic Norah, who runs a café at the bottom of her building… Sometimes you can find meaning in life right in your own backyard. Sometimes you have to reach out and make your own happiness. Nicole will go through the toughest period of her life, a time that will change her forever, as a mother and as a woman.
