Developed Projects
At 19, Elias leaves his village to settle in Marseille, where he is hosted for the first time by his grandmother. Determined to start his adult life, he discovers a stifling apartment dominated by a hostile, ever-present uncle. Little by little, this toxic cohabitation brings out a dark side of Elias he did not suspect.
