Details
French couple Jacqueline and Leon (Anne Azoulay and Arthur Igual) decide to adopt a pair of siblings from Lithuania. Since the children do not understand French, the couple hire a young girl, Gabriele (Dovile Kundrotaite), to initially help as a translator. Gabi, as the children call her, is supposed to be just a mediator for the family, but her role starts to change and the girl finds a new, strange power in her growing influence over the kids.

Director's Statement
When you stop blinking, you’re in some sort of dream state, a kind of tunnel where you can’t actually see what’s going on, and that’s exactly what happens to the characters. It’s also about perspective and perception: if you only see good in what you're doing and only see bad in what others do, you're probably not seeing the whole picture. So when looking at yourself and others, you should blink and try to see the bigger picture, before making any decisions or judgements.
