Romane Bohringer adapts for the cinema Clémentine Autain’s book about her mother, actress Dominique Laffin. This project will force her to confront her past and her own mother, who abandoned her when she was nine months old. With this fictional self-portait, Bohringer once again draws on her own experience and takes us on her personal journey, trying to piece together the jigsaw puzzle of her mother, also an actress and an 80s Paris icon deceased at young age.
