De toutes mes forces

Life doesn’t look very hard for the young and attractive Nassim, who despite living alone with his mother, studies at the best lyceum ofParis, has the best friends possible and a guaranteed future. But everything can change in an instant: the sudden death of his mother leaves him alone, far from a family that can’t take charge of him and into the hands of a social worker. She offers him the possibility to continue his studies, living at a reception centre managed with a firm hand by a charismatic director. Overwhelmed and bitter with his new circumstances, traumatized by his loss, Nassim refuses to accept reality and starts to live two parallel lives, deceiving everyone, but specially, deceiving himself.
