Spare Keys

In Nancy, a riverside town in the Grand East region of northeastern France, Sophie, a 15-year-old girl, tries to escape from her troubled family environment. To do this, he takes the opportunity to get a set of keys to the house of his wealthy friend Jade. While enjoying the spacious house, which she thought was empty during the summer, she bumps into her friend's older brother, Stéphane, who, by a twist of fate, was also planning to stay. But instead of kicking her out, Stéphane will decide to leave the door open by inviting Sophie to an unexpected summer.
