- The house is crammed with objects of no great material value. Years after her father's death, the director, her mother and brother clear the family home, once a promise of social advancement and now a place nobody wants to live in. Can memories be shared? What's left of a life when the next generation attaches a different value to its objects?
- Over time, I have understood the distance between my view of the world and that of my family that I left here. Sometimes I perceive a distance such that I imagine exploring a new planet, as if I were an astronaut.
- A captivating diva, incarnation of Acapulco, remembers when she was the most famous movie star of Mexico. Meanwhile, Marco, Javier, Felix, Alfonso and Yolanda are getting ready for Easter Week, the period when the city revives, recovering for a few days its past glory.

- A hypnotic plunge into the evening horse-racing events at Vincennes. The highly charged energy of the young punters pervades everything in what is now a deserted venue.
- Lens, in Northern France. 23-year-old Chaylla is fighting to free herself from a violent relationship. However, her determination comes up against a part of herself that still hopes to share her life with the father of her children. And if Chaylla, head held high, decides to press charges and reclaim her rights in the face of the society and the patriarchy in which she has no confidence, it is also thanks to the support of a duo of women - her mother-in-law and her best friend - who accompany her on a daily basis. It is with them that she shares her sorrow and passions, that she holds back her tears, smiles softly or sings at the top of her voice. The camera, always as close as possible to her face, enhances its strength, while the expressivity and magnetism of the close-ups are reminiscent of those of Renée Falconetti. Clara Teper and Paul Pirritano have made a magnificent first feature-length film shedding upsetting light on violence against women and the difficulties of finding one's own way to justice. This social drama is infused with the extreme humanity and sincerity of a woman, Chaylla.

- A big white whale washes up in the middle of a city. The animal is at death's door, people around it moan and complain, cars can't move. In a school bus, a little girl is learning a poem for class.
