Synopsis

Lola, her husband, and their young son leave London for Marseille, dreaming of a gentler life. But as soon as they arrive, troubling signs begin to emerge: at six years old, their son could want to be a girl. Caught between doctors, institutions, and judgmental stares, Lola unwittingly finds herself drawn into a nightmarish spiral where instinct and ideology threaten to undermine her search for the truth, even as she clings to one simple conviction : to be a good mother.
