It takes place in Marseille and we follow the life of a mother from North Africa who has to juggle during her daily life with a lot of disruptive elements in her life. There is her eldest son who is probably in prison. There is his daughter who has the IQ of a snail. There is the lazy, useless teenage son who does nothing. There's the youngest, pre-adolescent son. There is the beautiful daughter who seems to have a good head on her shoulders. This mother works, and she also takes care of an old lady. It's a busy life!

In the middle of all this, there is this woman mother who has an extraordinary capacity of resilience, who manages all this (there is no father) in a permanent way. And who has almost no time for herself, which makes her the heroine of the film and even a superheroine. This is the French superhero movie!

The film is a success because the sequence of pathos avoids heaviness. The film always remains light, and finally this lady knows how to be positive and always goes forward and always finds motivations for an aftermath and continue, which makes her a great character.

A beautiful film, simple and dense, concise, which goes to the essential in the drama, but which always keeps a positive dimension.
