Delphine Noels : 2013

Luce and Ulysse love each other. They live a full and happy life managing their own little veterinary clinic on the Atlantic coast. Luce is awaiting a happy event. The future looks good. At least at first sight. But when baby Rose arrives, nothing goes as planned. Luce is out of her depth before the constant crying of her baby. Why does the baby cry so? Is she trying to warn her about something? Could it be that the little family is in danger? The downward spiral of a distraught young mother who each day feels more and more distant from her newborn child. Even though her relatives suffocate her with peremptory advice about how to bring up a child, Luce tumbles into the gaping, bottomless abyss that exists between the image of the perfect mother that society and her close family impress upon her, and her own experiences as a young mother. Delphine Noels's feature debut premiered at Bruxelles Film Festival 2013.
