Maman est en haut
Caroline Sers

Cerise, in her late 40s, lives with her kids, copes with her mother, has hypochondriac tendencies, thinks about changing jobs and when things are really bad, opens a bottle of white wine to help herself think.

One morning, during her mother’s usual aggressive phone call, Cerise loses the thread of what her mother is saying and stops listening. Still, when Marie suddenly asks, I was right, wasn’t I ? Cerise, caught off guard, agrees. That very night, she gets a phone call from the police station, her mother is being held in custody, but they won’t tell her why…What in god’s name could she have done now?

Over the course of the weeks it takes her to find out, Cerise has to weather a few other storms as well: her ex-husband comes back with a strange offer, her company brings in a new young management team.

Mother is way up… north, has been way up… in cloud-cuckoo land for years, and is way up… on top of the family tree. It’s an ideal position for dropping bombshells…

Question: Could there be any place you’d rather be than with your family? Answer: Anywhere!
