Lullaby

Myriam and her husband are a married couple searching for a new nanny to take care of their young children when the household's matriarch decides to resume her previous post in an important law firm. This decision gives way to a lengthy interviews process with several different applicants offering to care for the young children. Myriam and her husband choose Louise, a woman who quickly gains the trust of all the family due to her close bond with the children. Louise quickly starts working for the family, taking care of both the children and the housework. Over time, Louise is not just an important fixture in the lives of the children, but also in the lives of the entire family as she begins to occupy an important place in their household. However, the need for Louise to keep the family functioning leads to a complex relationship characterised by mutual dependency that threatens to shatter the family completely when a tragic event takes place.
