After her divorce, writer Clémence begins dating women, exploring her sexuality for the first time. When she tells her ex-husband, he reacts by cutting off her access to their eight-year-old child, and what had seemed an amicable separation turns into a legal battle over custody. Clémence finds herself up against both her ex-husband and a legal system that penalises mothers who don’t fit a traditional mould. Adapted from Constance Debré’s semi-autobiographical novel, the film is anchored by a compelling performance from Vicky Krieps.
