Zero F*cks Given

In the sun‑bleached corridors of a low‑cost airline hub on Lanzarote, Cassandre glides through each day with practiced precision. As a 26‑year‑old flight attendant, she has mastered the art of polite disengagement—effortlessly serving passengers while keeping personal connections at arm’s length. Outside the cabin, the island’s nightlife becomes her playground: spontaneous Tinder dates, raucous parties, and brief escapes to remote beaches hint at a restless spirit that refuses to settle into any one identity.

Beneath the glossy uniform and the endless stream of take‑offs lies a quieter, more fragile current. The loss of her mother in a sudden accident still reverberates in the corners of her memory, a grief she has sidestepped by abandoning the family business in Huy and the expectations of her father and sister. Her colleagues notice the careful distance she maintains, yet a shared sorrow flickers whenever the subject of loss surfaces, suggesting an unspoken weight she carries while maintaining a seemingly indifferent façade.

When the airline announces the end of her contract, the routine she has leaned on begins to crack. The prospect of a promotion that demands deeper responsibility clashes with her lack of long‑term ambition, forcing her to confront the reasons behind her avoidance of commitment. In this liminal space between the structured sky routes of her profession and the chaotic freedom of her off‑duty world, Cassandre stands at a crossroads, poised to decide whether to continue drifting or to chart a more authentic course for herself.
