Synopsis

The day Clémence realizes that no one has ever admired her, poof, her father dies. Cradled by the illusions left over from a complicated childhood, she has no choice but to climb back up from a self-esteem she didn’t realize was so low. When fate puts a certain Paul in her path—a man everyone calls Paul Pot because of a pronounced tendency toward tyranny— Clémence asks herself the only question that matters: could he be the one?
