We don’t know where she’s going. She probably doesn’t know either. She’s walking down the street now, with her bag over her shoulder. Not in that frantic way we’re used to, no she’s walking with a calm, new and determined stride. She’s walking down the street. She has committed the unthinkable, yet her step seems lighter than it ever has been. She’s a princess awakening after 100-year sleep.She is the oldest and has never acted like a child. She has always taken care of her brothers and sisters, her father and mother. She is the head of the household. It’s her role, and she has locked herself up inside it. From her very first gaze, she has been fascinated by the undying love that binds her parents. She herself is solitary. Yet one day, she will have to leave her family. Des mots jamais dits is a fairy tale. With tremendous insight, Violaine Bérot explore the mysterious ties that bind families and the unhealed wounds of childhood.

A child who never had a childhood. Parents who never acted like parents. The poetic tale of a liberation.
