Written by the director, the story revolves around Mona who lives with her thirty-something grandson, Joël, in a modest flat in Créteil. Joël is "late", as they say. He works in a specialised centre. He is passionately in love with his colleague Océane, who is also disabled. But Mona knows nothing about this relationship. When Océane becomes pregnant, a choice has to be made, and the close relationship between mother and son is shaken.

My Everything is produced by David Thion and Philippe Martin on behalf of Les Films Pelléas, in co-production with France 3 Cinéma and Pictanovo. Pre-purchased by Canal+, Ciné+ and France Télévisions, the feature film also enjoys support in the form of an advance on receipts from the CNC, as well as backing from the Ile-de-France Region, the Les Uns et Les Autres grant and the SOFICA company La Banque Postale Image. The 36-day film shoot will unfold between 3 October and 17 November in the Hauts-de-France and Ile-de-France regions, as well as in Belgium (in Ath), with Nader Chalhoub heading up photography. Distribution in France and international sales are both in the hands of Les Films du Losange.
