Paris. Lea, 12, and her little brother Max, 8, live with their parents. One week with Marjorie, their Mom, the next week with François, their Dad.
Lea blames her mother, hotshot businesswoman Marjorie for the divorce and turns all her anger on her. She prefers the weeks with her Dad, even though he's flat broke since he left his bank job to give people free hugs on street corners.
Max meanwhile channels his sense of injustice into the battle to save the planet!
But over the school year, as her parents fumble at getting their lives back on track and she approaches her 13th birthday, Lea learns to see the world in color again...
