Gaël Octavia: La fin de Mame Baby

Le Quartier est une petite ville de banlieue où se croisent les destins de quatre femmes. Mariette, recluse dans son appartement, qui ressasse sa vie gâchée en buvant du vin rouge.

Aline, l’infirmière à domicile, qui la soigne et l’écoute. Suzanne, la petite Blanche, amante éplorée d’un caïd assassiné. Mame Baby, idole des femmes du Quartier, dont la mort est auréolée de mystère.

À travers la voix d’Aline, de retour dans le Quartier qu’elle a fui sept ans auparavant, les liens secrets qui unissent les quatre héroïnes se dessinent…

La fin de Mame Baby raconte avant tout, avec finesse, grâce et passion, l’art qu’ont les femmes de prendre soin les unes des autres, de se haïr et de s’aimer.
