[Machine Translation] What if the family history that has been told to us is all a lie? The other face of the beautiful mother who died mysteriously when she was a child, and the shocking truth hidden in the shadow of her death. What is the "false family history" that is revealed? A complete film adaptation of the bestselling novel by Tatiana de Launay, the author of "Sarah's Key" which won both the Best Director Award and the Audience Award at the 23rd Tokyo International Film Festival, and has sold over 550,000 copies in France and 450,000 in the U.S.! The film features a cast of talented French actors including Melanie Laurent (Life is Beginners) and Laurent Lafitte (Crimson River). The film takes place on the island of Noirmoutier, located on the Atlantic coast of France, with its trees and beautiful sun-drenched sea. One of the highlights of the film is the scenery, which is typical of Western France, rich in nature. The past and present intersect in this gem of suspense with tension-filled images, but it is also a high-quality human drama that carefully depicts the subtleties of emotions that we all have and how, by uncovering the truth, we can also find emotional release and salvation. --A young woman dies a mysterious death in the sea off the coast of an island called "Mimosa Island" because of its small winter-blooming flowers. 40-year-old Antoine, still unable to shake off his sense of loss at the loss of his beloved mother, sets out to discover the truth, but he finds that his mother's death was a tragedy. For some reason, the family is adamant about not telling him about his mother's death. What really happened to his mother at that time? With the help of his girlfriend Angel and his sister Agatha, Antoine visits the island of Mimosa and discovers another face of his mother that he never knew, and the forbidden truth behind her death...
