In a working-class district of Paris, a devoted mother, sometimes overwhelmed and excessive, tries to raise five boys in spite of adversity and an alcoholic father. For one of them, the need to write echoes the dramas and joys that have plagued him since childhood. As if real life were here, in words and a demented memory.
