Single, middle-aged beautician Mona is completely dedicated to her 30-year-old son Joël, who lives with a neurological disability. Joël works in a specialised facility and is secretly in love with co-worker Océane. While Mona knows nothing of their relationship, all is revealed when it becomes evident that Océane is pregnant. Océane’s parents and Mona are collectively stunned by the news, but the couple declares they are in love and determined to forge a life together. Mona finds herself torn between her son’s iron will, her maternal instincts and a suppressed desire to enjoy life on her own terms.
