    • Synopsis
    • After 15 years of living together, the couple of Sandra (42) and Abel (43) is torn apart.
      Sandra is having an affair with another man, Luke (38) : he is less tormented than Abel, whom is subject to irrepressible outbursts of anger.
      After one last attempt to live together, the resentment linked to Sandra's betrayal undermines what remains of their relationship.
      The separation is violent, each one claiming custody of their only daughter Alice (12).
      For the Jacobs, Sandra's parents, all the means are good for Alice to live with her mother in the middle of rebuilding a home with Luc, whereas Alice judges the latter responsible for the separation of her parents.
      On Abel's side, the Shaker family believes that Alice belongs to their clan, as she bears their name. The child of one of them is the child of the family altogether, and the choices related to his education are supposed to be decided collectively. Sandra is seen as a promiscuous mother, unworthy to raise her daughter.
      War is declared between the two sides.
