Film Synopsis

Mathilde Zasinger is a nine-year-old girl who lives alone with her mother after her parents' separation.  Madame Zasinger's increasingly erratic behaviour doesn't seem to trouble her devoted daughter, who becomes complicit in her childish flights of fancy.  One day, Mathilde receives an unexpected gift from her mother - a caged owl - and is delighted when it begins talking to her.  Within no time, the owl is the little girl's closest confidant.

As Madame Zasinger's mental health continues to deteriorate, her ex-husband becomes ever more concerned about his daughter, but the latter remains unconcerned.  If anything, the bond between mother and daughter intensifies as their shared fantasies become increasingly extravagant, crossing the line ever more frequently into a weird blend of madness and fairytale.  For some reason, Mathilde prefers the wild fantasy world of her mother to the one inhabited by her father and most other grown-ups...
