Bertrand Touzet

Release date : 29/09/2022

The intersecting of two lives at a new point of departure.
Since her breast cancer, Anna is in need of claiming back her femininity; she meets Camille, a young woman who has become a tattooist and opened her premises up to women who have been scarred by life.

Anna returns to the town of her birth near Toulouse after living in Paris for fifteen years where she became involved in a toxic and profoundly damaging relationship and then took refuge in her work.

Anna returns to the town of her birth near Toulouse after living in Paris for fifteen years where she became involved in a toxic and profoundly damaging relationship and then took refuge in her work. One fine day, she simply decides to return home to become a baker. But a new ordeal awaits her there: a breast tumour is diagnosed and she has to undergo a partial mastectomy. During the chemotherapy sessions, she makes the acquaintance of a paediatric oncologist called Soren but Anna, feeling that she has lost a part of her feminine appeal, is afraid of embarking on a relationship. Gaspard, her childhood friend and a bookshop owner, encourages her to go and see Camille, who has just opened a tattoo parlour and with whom he is smitten. Camille is a widow, having lost her husband and also the baby she was carrying two years earlier. She has now decided to reserve her parlour one afternoon a week to women who have been ill-treated by life. For those few hours, her premises become a place for talking and sharing as she offers tattoos to cover the physical scars.
