Elderflower and Mint

Cabris, French Alpes-Maritimes. In Blanche's small universe, among the fields of lavender and sunflowers, life goes on as if nothing should ever happen. Sixteen years old, open smile and fearless character, a rebellious soul, and a conflictual relationship with her mother. Will it be her first love that changes things, or fate that slithers in the grass like a snake and hides in the mountains, disappearing into the waters of the river just to travel with her? Blanche knows that life is bizarre, it weaves spider webs to bind people's destinies to each other and creates bonds that sometimes resist, others fray, sometimes break, but at times go beyond time and distance, as happens many years later between herself and her grand-daughter Valentina. And it is at that moment that the truth comes out, because every family has a story to tell, a secret to hide or suffering that is transmitted by chance from mother to daughter. Often the weight of things left unsaid is unbearable and it comes to the point when secrets ask to be revealed.
