Camille is 12 years old and has a fondness for the stars that she looks at each night through her telescope. She lives with her mother, but constantly dreams of Pierre, the father she adores who lives in New York. There he is, appearing suddenly one night as Marie-Pierre. Despite this transformation, Camille decides to follow her transsexual father so that she may live with him. With the energy of despair, she decides to try convince him to become a man again, but the strange being who accedes to her wishes is no longer the father she once knew. (In French with English Sub-titles.)
