Joëlle is not your average father. Her life is in full reconstruction after a sex reassignment, when her son suddenly leaves the family home and follows her to New York. She's not ready to play the doting father. She can tell her son the contrary, he can see that she's gone down a notch. Crap job, tiny flat. She can't take being constantly scrutinized, questioned and judged by every Tom, Dick and Harry. Her son's arrival might just be the last straw.
