    • Synopsis
    • Dalva, 12, lives alone with her father. One evening, the police storms into their home and takes her into foster care. As Dalva befriends her new roommate Samia and social worker Jayden, she gradually comes to understand that the love she shared with her father was not what she thought. With their help, Dalva will learn to become a child again.

      In this gut-wrenching debut feature, Emmanuelle Nicot explores the ramifications of incest and child grooming with deep sensibility and uncompromising grace, in a hopeful journey to recovery.
