It all starts with the photos of a family discovered in an album bought at some flea market. A family we don’t know, but which we feel we do know. At the centre: a boy with his gaze that is both gentle and melancholic yet joyful. Who is this boy? What is his story? And what if each individual were also the unwitting hero of a fairy tale? A dizzying, emotional family investigation, where reality and fiction mingle, sometimes to the point of merging and confusion.

Screened with the support of UNIFRANCE.
