Manon, a 16-year-old introverted teenager, is forced to cohabit with her grandmother Yvonne, a former feminist activist with Alzheimer’s disease. The situation becomes complicated when Yvonne, begins to take Manon for her daughter. Against all odds, Manon enters Yvonne’s delusions and plays the role of her mother that she almost never knew.
