Sinossi

50-year-old Louise Wimmer is adrift. Her comfortable life is turned upside down when a painful separation and an unexpected crisis leave her immersed in debt and homeless, forcing her to sleep in her car. Her job as a hotel maid is not enough for rent or for paying off her debts. However, Louise keeps fighting for a better future. Refusing even the help of friends and a man who truly loves her, she will nevertheless find the strength to build a new life for herself.

Cyril Mennegun

Screenwriter and director, he made his debut in 2005 with the short Tahar l’etudiant. In 2009 he realised the short 20 ans, le monde et nous. Louise Wimmer is his first feature length film.
