Vive

The brilliant young chef Anaïs Lacascade accuses her father - himself a representative of Michelin-starred gastronomy - of having abused her from the age of 7 to 14. Throughout a lengthy trial, supported by her flamboyantly-spoken lawyer, she tells her story. Through the testimonies of those around her, we plunge into Anaïs' childhood and the confusion that reigns between a passion for cooking and a taste for domination: in this family clan, violence is sealed by silence, unspoken words that are passed down from generation to generation.

For Anaïs, speaking out again is a matter of life and death. But how to get out of the secret? From the kitchen to the courtroom, from acts to their denunciation, from silence to the joy of newfound words: it's a fighter's journey that VIVE retraces, in a choral tale where hope and vitality breathe.
