In 1950s France, Camille struggles to figure out who she is and where she fits in the world of her coastal working-class neighborhood.
Her mother holds the family together, with the support of a group of women who talk over coffee and cigarettes each day.
Her father, a war veteran, is largely silent except when his inner rage erupts in violence.
Her sister, Ariane, provides comic relief, while her construction worker brother, Abel, is a lost soul who suffers from severe seizures.
Camille hers.
