Plot
Almost overnight, Nathalie Pêcheux, a divorced French teacher, changes from a loving mother into a jealous monster.

After the success of their film Delicacy, author and screenwriter David Foenkinos pairs up again with his brother Stéphane Foenkinos to portray a woman's radical and unexpected shift of character that oscillates between black comedy and psychological thriller.
