Je voudrais aimer personne

“I love everyone, I want to help everyone and no one loves me, no one helps me. They say they understand me, but they don’t understand. I don’t want to love anyone.” Between Colmar and Mulhouse, 16-year-old Sabrina has a moment of lucidity, but this glimmer does not last. Placed in the Ermitage hostel with her son, the girl is unable to detach herself from her family, who don’t care a jot about her, from her boyfriend, who is double-timing her with “frumpies”. The family is suffocating her yet at the same time is her breath of air. Faced with this programmed asphyxia, all the social workers and psychologists are able to offer her are casual jobs and training courses that follow on one after the other to no benefit. Sabrina is like a butterfly attracted by the daylight, yet which remains stuck against the window rather than flying around to find a way out. (Yann Lardeau)
