Synopsis

Everyone knows one of these invisible mothers, yet no one would trade places with them. In France, there are now over two and a half million single mothers, and the number continues to rise.

These single mothers are tightrope walkers, balancing on a fragile wire; without vigilance, they often fall but always get back up, with no respite. Everything rests on their shoulders, yet society struggles to prioritize their needs and implement concrete solutions to support them.

This universal film aims to shed light on their reality, listen to their voices, and recognize their struggles.
