Marie lives alone with her 16 year old son. She struggles to get by with this teenager who gets deeper and deeper in violence and juvenile delinquency. Speaking sentimentally, things are not going better: the relationship with her lover has come to an end. It may seems depressing, but Marie doesn’t give up, even if love seems to be an inaccessible dream. But love, there is. We can feel the affection of this mother for her troublesome child, thanks to Mathilde Seigner, who gives an astonishing performance. A subtle directing, a strong and captivating story, in short: a must see.

El capitán Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) se despierta de un sobresalto en el interior de un tren de cercanías de Chicago. Aunque todos los demás pasajeros parecen conocerlo él no tiene absolutamente ninguna idea de dónde está o, incluso, de quién es. Lo último que recuerda es estar volando en helicóptero durante una misión en Irak, pero aquí parece ser alguien que va a trabajar por la mañana como un día cualquiera. Pero antes de que puede hacer cualquier cosa un tren se acerca por la vía contraria y explota una bomba que aparentemente mata a Colter y a todos los demás pasajeros.

Maurice (Michel Piccoli) es compositor, y un viejo miembro de la resistencia. Por azar, comparte casa con una adolescente que, también por azar, es su nieta. Claire, a sus 17 años, está impaciente por vivir toda clase de cosas y cuanto antes mejor, y se rebela ante cualquiera que quiera impedírselo. Entre las competiciones de natación y los primeros encuentros cercanos con los chicos, pasa su vida, acogida por su abuelo después de haberse quedado huérfana. Pero esta convivencia es difícil: ambos se evitan por los recovecos de una gran casa, escapándose por las ventanas si es necesario, para vivir en las estancias que les cede ese ente invisible que es su incomprensión mutua. Y, sin embargo, tienen algo en común: ambos son insurrectos a su manera, sólo que uno de vuelta de todo y la otra apenas emprendiendo el camino de ida.

Darling es una mujer de hoy. Da la impresión de elegir siempre el camino equivocado. Sufre pero no se ve como víctima. No siente lástima de sí misma. Por el contrario, muestra una pasión por la vida contra todo pronóstico. Ella está luchando por existir. Si se cae, se levanta. Porque Darling es ingenua y audaz, valiente e instintiva. Tiene la fuerza vital de una heroina trágica.
