On a square in front of the station, Viviane, lost, meets a suitcase, as lost as she is. Thanks to the luggage, Viviane finds a way to change her life, to change identity. Even if it is at Françoise and Thierry's expense who welcomed her so kindly…
"A suitcase and three people meet up. Their lives are turned upside down. Viviane lives the life of a failure, anguished, when all of a sudden destiny offers her the opportunity to change her empty existence. Everything becomes possible for her and she can start believing in life again. And this is what she does with all her strength, anything to avoid the anguish of giving birth to a child in this misery. Viviane isn't only crazy. She is lost, fragile, with her nerves on edge and an enormous need to be loved. She is a victim, but will become the victimizer" (Charlotte Walior).
