Going Away

Baptiste is a solitary type. He is a teacher in southern France and never stays more than three weeks in the same job. One Friday he is left unwittingly in charge of Mathias, one of his pupils, by the child's negligent divorced father who hasn't picked up his child after school. Baptiste takes the boy to his mother, Sandra. She's a beautiful woman who has led a bit of a wild life and now works in a beach restaurant near Montpellier.

Within a day, the trio have formed a bond, like the beginnings of a family for these three people who don't have one. But the magic doesn't last. Sandra owes money and if she doesn't pay up something could happen. She must hit the road once again.

To help Sandra, Baptiste has to take a look back at the origins of his own life, at the most painful and secret parts of himself.
