Award-winning French writer Christine Angot is invited for business to Strasbourg where her father had lived and died several years ago.
It’s the city where she met him at the age of 13 for the first time, and he started to rape her. His wife and children still live there.
Angot takes a camera, and knocks on her family’s doors to push them for clarity about their attitudes to her father’s crime that lasted so many years.
A cinematographic journey challenging social norms and family perspectives in dealing with incest.
