SYNOPSIS

Elsa is fighting to keep custody of her son Thomas. One day, at a children’s birthday party, she notices a little 6-year-old girl. Immediately, she is convinced that Lola is the daughter she lost during a fire at the maternity. Obsessed by this feeling, she manipulatively inches her way into Lola’s life. Claire, Lola’s mother, allows a friendship to develop. Yet, gradually she becomes aware of Elsa’s unnatural behaviour to the point of insisting that she stop intruding in their lives. Elsa, seemingly crazy, challenges Claire by asking for DNA tests. An intense psychological face-off between two women who should never have met…
