Célimène is 35 years old.
She prefers being called Nathalie. Whatever.
She’s a writer with no inspiration. Nothing new.
Her 8 year-old son, Adam, keeps her grounded and balanced. More or less.
Her apartment is being renovated, so she’s staying at her mother’s place. Not easy.
Anaïs is 17 years old.
She’s young, she’s new, she’s fresh. In every sense of the word.
She follows Célimène around, steals her mail, spies on her. Disturbing.
Anaïs wants Célimène to write a book about her. Oh, please!
They have nothing in common, but nothing really in conflict either. Anaïs’ plans
are foiled by Célimène’s refusal. Anaïs is stubborn but Célimène is determined
not to indulge her. Anyway, she has enough on her mind: she’s breaking up with
her lover.
And yet…
