Wealthy Alma(Isabelle Huppert) has been visiting her husband Christopher, a former surgeon, in Bordeaux prison for years. During one such visit, she meets Mina(Hafsia Herzi). She is a mother of two young children. who is not allowed to see her husband because of a clerical error. Feeling sorry for her, she invites Mina to her large villa to spend the night. A friendship develops and Alma suggests that she and both children move in with her in the big house. For Alma, this is a fulfillment of her lonely life, and for Mina, it brings peace to her chaotic life and away from the flat in a working-class neighborhood.
Patricia Mazuy created a warm film about an unusual friendship of two women from very different worlds. To each other they give the much needed "power" to grasp life.
