A young single father trying to find the strength to love. A feminist librarian, single by conviction, who’s decided that she won’t be a mother. A six-year-old child trying to find a place in a new family structure. By revealing their aspirations, their fears, their choices, Carine Tardieu depicts different ways in which humans create families.

Paris, today. 38 y.o. Inès, mother of teenage Adam whom she is raising alone, is threatened with eviction. She absolutely must get a stable job to find them a place to live. She is taken on 2 months trial at “Anti-Squat,” a start-up company offering temporary housing in empty suburban office buildings. But the rules are very strict and the tenants have no rights. As a manager, Inès must live and sleep in the building to monitor the residents. But children are forbidden... She has two months to go, two months to complete her trial period, two months to start a new life at the risk of losing her most cherished values.

Interpretive dance short film made in collaboration between Pascal Greco and The MAH.
