Synopsis
Friday 24th of May 1996, the hamlet Gremey in the region of Haute Savoie. The house in which I grew up in has been sold at auction. I was 20 at the time we were forced to leave this house. I ran away, far far away, somewhere else, where as my parents, they decided to stay and struggle along… living in the neighbouring vicinity of this small hamlet of this low mountain range. Throughout twelve years we shared very little contact with one another, we hardly ever saw each other…how am I supposed to go back ?
