RETRANCHEMENT

Overview

Jham, a young man in his twenties, is completely withdrawn. He spends his time playing guitar in his room. His mother, Karine, currently in rehab and at her wit's end, tries to make him understand that this lifestyle is not healthy. Unfortunately, during an argument, Karine accidentally burns her son's hand. Jham then leaves his mother's apartment with nothing but his guitar in his hand, hoping to escape his mother, whom he considers toxic. However, by leaving his musical sanctuary, he does not expect to discover an unknown world. After a night of wandering the streets, suffering from both mental and physical pain, Jham cuts off the fingers of his burned hand in front of the Saône River, hoping for a fresh start.
