FICTION

Ma Mère

Seventeen-year-old Pierre vows blind love for his mother, who isn't ready to handle what her son projects onto her. Refusing to be loved for something she isn't, she decides to break all mystery and reveal her true nature, that of a woman for whom immortality has become an addiction. Pierre is going to ask her to initiate him into debauchery and go all the way in this more and more dangerous game.
