Synopsis

Josette is a 75-year-old widow living on her own. She videocalls her five children who are scattered across Europe, encouraging them to build their own houses in Cameroon, so that they can be close to her. Benoit, her youngest son, is sympathetic to her cause and sends money to help build his house.
One day, Josette loses her ID, and she can no longer withdraw the money sent by Benoit. Josette then asks 30-year-old Sarah, a young woman from her neighbourhood, who is estranged with her family, for help. Sarah agrees to assist her, but in exchange she asks Josette to pretend to be her mother when her French lover Adrien comes to visit her. Reluctant at first, Josette agrees.
In order for Josette to play her part perfectly in front of Adrien, the two women need to get to know each : Sarah thus moves in with Josette. But Josette, whose personality is dramatically different from Sarah’s, finds it difficult to cope with this new presence in her home.
Adrien does not show up on the day he is expected. Sarah is in despair. To cheer her up, Josette, who has become fond of Sarah, allows her to stay longer at hers. Meanwhile, Josette has been supervising the works for Benoit’s house. Josette gets into a huge debt to finish it ; but when eventually it is done, Benoit does not come. He meant to rent out this house to make ends meet all along…
