Synopsis
Marianne, Mike and Angèle have gathered once more around their mother.
In ten days, following the end of the treatment protocol, Claudine will be dead.
Ten days? Marianne never grasped the fact that they would have to wait so long, yet she usually understands very well.
Luckily, Angèle has worked hard to wrap everything up as tightly as possible and Mike is trying especially hard not to rub anyone the wrong way.
Everything will be as fine as can be.
Even the dog has never been so affectionate.

Marina Diaby’s dragon is a dying mother. The director’s approach is a very singular one. During a whole day, the three adult children meet up in the house where their mother spent her last moments and react to her disappearance. The family ties unfold in this single-set film, through the mourning and the arrival of a dog. Between the absurd humour and the emotional score, the film swings from laughter to tears, and so do we.
