Bébé naît dans un monde qui meurt. Il ouvre les yeux dans une famille qui les ferme. Il pousse son cri dans une maison où l’on se tait, où l’on se terre. Bébé amène le chaos. Il est mal aimé. Avant d’étouffer dans cette ambiance délétère, Hélène, la jeune mère, quitte ces quatre murs qui craquent, abandonnant ainsi ses parents, son frère et son enfant qui se consument à petit feu dans leur silo respectif. Elle délaisse la glauque piscine intérieure pour embrasser l’immensité du fleuve, à la recherche du père, bâtisseur de mondes meilleurs. C’est une « histoire d’un soir » racontée à rebours, magistralement tordue, pour en faire saillir les angles morts au grand jour.

Bébé is born into a dying world. He opens his eyes in a family whose own eyes are closed. He cries out in a house where people stay shushed and sequestered. Bébé brings chaos. He is not loved. Before she suffocates in this noxious atmosphere, young mother Hélène breaks away from the shredding family fabric, abandoning her parents, brother and child, all of whom smoulder slowly in their respective silos. She leaves behind the gloomy indoor swimming pool to embrace the immensity of the river, searching for her child’s father, a builder of better worlds. A one-night-stand narrated in reverse, masterfully twisted, the better to bring out the blind spots . . . in broad daylight.
