A character-driven drama about a determined, independent mother fighting against institutional barriers to secure her son's future, grounded in maternal devotion and social struggle.

Marie, an independent and militant woman, has never needed anyone's help, including when it comes to raising her son. When the latter is expelled from his certificate of professional competence training class, Marie cannot accept it. Dreaming of a brighter future for him, she decides to enrol him in one of the best cooking schools in France.
