Overview

Miriam and Antoine have recently separated. While she’s willing to permit their 17-year-old daughter Josephine to decide living arrangements for herself, Miriam is desperate to keep her youngest, 11-year-old Julien, away from his father. But the magistrate rules in favour of joint custody, and suddenly the boy is thrown directly into the middle of an escalating parental conflict, where it seems inevitable that sides must be chosen.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A taut, suffocating portrait of a child caught in the machinery of family dissolution, where every interaction bristles with barely-contained anger and the threat of emotional violence. You watch helplessly as a young boy is trapped between warring parents, with no escape and no safety.
