Les mauvaises herbes

167 views

At 32, Léonie returns to her childhood garden to tend it and share some news with her mother. Even though the place is abandoned, like the memories we wish we could bury but that always resurface. She is confronted with the words and judgments that have followed her all her life and must decide what to keep and what to leave behind. This return becomes a turning point: a moment in which she faces her past and her doubts, while trying to build her own life, carrying, sometimes despite herself, what still lingers
