Sauvons les meubles
Picking up the pieces

A feature-length fiction written and directed by Catherine Cosme

Lucile (40) and Paul (30) are called to their parents' home because their mother is dying. Both were unaware of her illness, but discover another secret: their mother has assumed Lucile's identity to heavily indebt herself through consumer loans. In this urgency, before their mother passes away, Lucile must find the path to forgiveness and, along with her brother, save much more than just furniture.
