Plot

[edit]

July 1969. After two years in Canada, Sacha is back in her small city in Belgium. She has two disruptive news for her family. The first is that instead of being married or at least engaged, she has a lesbian Canadian girlfriend; and the second is not better: instead of studying radiology in Montreal, she abandoned the studies despite the fact that her family had made huge sacrifices.
