Summary:
Inspired by the filmmaker's family history, Fabien Gorgeart's heartfelt, heartbreaking second feature focuses on an excruciating period in one family's life. Anna, her husband, and their two young sons are told they must hand six-year-old Simon, the foster child they've raised since he was eighteen months old, over to his 'real' father. Powerless before a social services system that fails to understand the powerful emotional ties that inevitably form between abandoned children and their caregivers, the family has no choice but to allow that bond to be torn apart.
