Luna Depuydt Song

The story unfolds in Monaco, which is paradise on earth for a post-reality-TV generation who have grown up fantasising over a privileged lifestyle, with its promises of infinite pleasures. But what hides within these lofty towers, and behind the tinted saloon car windows and villa gates?

Chenghua is 9 years old and has to prepare a presentation on Space with her best friend. She can’t find the time she needs, as her parents are constantly asking her to translate for them. Chenghua’s parents don’t speak French and are so dependent on their child that they don’t realise they’re putting too much weight on her shoulders. Chenghua can’t take it anymore and is looking to break away from her family. Her desire for space and her natural enthusiasm will help her take the plunge.
