“Nicola Merola and I are really very proud. The talent of Michelle Allen which shines in India, it is really exciting!

The story revolves around Daphnée Roussel, who has been in a coma for weeks following a fall from the roof of the Dédales skateboarding center. Her best friend Jennifer wonders if it really is a suicide attempt. Adrien, Daphnée’s brother, creates a commotion when he offers to unplug his sister. As he insists, the family begins to doubt the purity of his intentions. Daphnée’s ex-husband, Laurent, is also not above suspicion. In the entourage of Daphnée, the secrets are numerous, we detail in the synopsis.
