April 2022. Solène works as a waitress in night bars in Paris. As the second round of the presidential elections is approaching, everything seems to crumble around her.

Donatienne Berthereau was born in Montreuil in 1993. After a master's degree in film studies at La Sorbonne-Nouvelle, she entered La Fémis in the directing department from which she graduated in July 2021. Her previous films mix fictional and documentary forms, featuring women of her generation trying to find their place in the contemporary world. Nuits blanches (Sleepless nights) is her first film produced after school.
