Entre chômage, dégradation de la situation économique, pandémie et urgence écologique, les jeunes doivent composer avec des paramètres inédits.

In this modern-day retelling of Salome, Herod is a drug lord. Herod’s life is mostly the same until he marries his business partner’s wife and her daughter comes to live with him. If his wife is not trying to destroy him, his new stepdaughter is disobeying at every turn. Everything changes when Salome comes home from college and he has to use her help to clean up her mother’s mess with a snitch. Things change even more when he asks her to dance for his birthday. Things go totally to hell for Herod when he promises Salome anything she wants if she spends an entire week with him dancing.
