I Am The Heir
Synopsis
Confined to a medicinal bath by a rare illness, young Ophélie dreams of walking to the moon. She lives with her mother, Madame, a fragile and obsessive puppet sustained by the letters she receives. But when a new, foul-smelling letter arrives, the delicate balance of their small world begins to crack.
