Synopsis

Jeanne (Emilie Dequenne) still lives at home with her mother, Louise (Catherine Deneuve). Louise works as a childminder, while her daughter is half-heartedly looking for a job. Louise hopes she can help Jeanne get a job with Samuel Bleistein (Michel Blanc), a famous lawyer whom she knew in her youth.

However the reality is that Jeanne and Bleistein's worlds are vastly different, but because of an incredible lie that Jeanne invents they'll be set on a collision course as the lie develops into the biggest news and political story of the day.
