[English]

Since the death of her mother Jessie during a car accident in which both her parents were involved, ten year-old Mouna no longer calls her father "Papa" but rather by his first name.

Child psychologist, Richard is incapable of caring for his own daughter and decides to entrust her to his best friend and colleague Francis, who saw Mouna grow up and considers her as his own daughter.

What follows is an unexpected closed meeting between the psychologist and the little girl, but also with Ashia, the doll from which Mouna almost never separates…
