What happens

Interdit d'amour (Interdit d'amour) est un téléfilm français réalisé par Catherine Corsini, diffusé en 1992. Emmanuel Brémont, un garçon d'une dizaine d'années, subit jour après jour la folie destructrice de sa mère. La jeune femme, caissière dans un supermarché, déteste son fils et ne se prive pas pour lui dire. Un vendredi soir, madame Brémont décide de partir en week-end. Emmanuel, lui, attendra sa mère dans l'appartement, enfermé à double tour dans le placard de la cuisine. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
