“It’s a story of suffering, despair, angst, and shame”, claims Lucie. To escape from a morose life spent caring for her father suffering from multiple sclerosis, the teenager imagines parallel worlds that are both cruel and absurd. Her behaviour soon worries one of her teachers, who reaches out to social services. Lucie and her father, closer than ever, decide to write one last tale together: the story of a normal life.
