Set in France, the film follows a wrenching family crisis with remarkable restraint. Though it confronts incest, it avoids sensationalism, presenting a discreet, methodical account of how twelve‑year‑old Alexandrine first accuses her father Jean of abuse and then recants, exposing fragile dynamics of trust and denial. Director Aline Issermann employs understated visuals, letting the emotional weight unfold without melodrama.
