Isabelle is a story of survival after a snatched motherhood, which confronts us with the protagonist’s routine, marked by an unexpected, abrupt and untimely absence. Motherhood, as a permanent and irreversible condition, opens the door to love, but also to suffering.

Parents who lose a child become ghosts: everyone feels them, even sees them, but they’re no longer there.
