Louise is 17 years old. Like her mother, she wants to become a dancer. She wants to leave home to train and opens up about it to her parents, Camille and Vincent. But Vincent is violently opposed to Louise pursuing her dream and accuses Camille of putting ideas into Louise’s head. He sends Camille back as a “failed” dancer according to him, a good-for-nothing, a financial burden. As the days go by, real psychological torcher takes hold. Later, Louise questions Camille about her relationship with Vincent. Camille finally opens up about the difficulties of everyday life, about the notion of motherhood and creativity which draw from the same place, she also talks about her fear of having made the wrong choices and her lack of self-confidence.
