Summary

rebel and start a normal life. Leaving Barcelona she heads for Paris to start a
new life, where she tries to fit into the society she previously rejected.
Review
Actress-turned-director Virginie Thévenet takes an ironic look at the world of
an outsider in this raw drama. The film’s ugly presentation, lethargic pace and
grotesquely caricaturised characters hardly endear it to its audience. It’s a pretty
indigestible film which wastes an awful lot of great acting talent.
