Documentary
Christine was just a little girl when her father passed away, leaving her at the mercy of a cruel, manipulative mother who inflicted both physical beatings and deep emotional wounds. Even now, Christine clings to the belief that her mother secretly withheld a final, heartfelt letter from her beloved dad. Meanwhile, Jean has been carrying his own heavy burden—his father took his own life years ago, leaving behind a long, unread letter that Jean has never been able to face. United by their unresolved grief, the two set off on an unforgettable journey through the scenic French countryside, heading straight for Christine’s mother’s door, determined to finally confront the ghosts of their pasts.
