Winner of the Prix Maison de la Presse, the French bookseller’s prize. Too long ago, Julie stopped believing in fairy tales, in goodness, and in all of those lies. At just 20 years old, she is a cashier at a supermarket where she puts up with her boss’s audacity and harrassment for fear of losing her job. She can’t afford it; she needs that job. She is a single mother, and she needs to fend for herself, since her family turned their backs on her when she got pregnant with little Lulu, now an adorable three-year-old boy. But one day, a stranger lends her a hand out of pure generosity. Moved by her family situation, Paul, a customer at the supermarket, spontaneously invites her and her little boy to spend a few days on the Breton coast with himself and his son Jerome. At first reluctant, the young mother ends up accepting the invitation without knowing that this vacation will change their destinies forever. A journey of no return and a series of unexpected events show Julie the sadder but friendlier side of life. A story full of vitality and hope that helps us make peace with life.
