In the street, tears blur her vision and her bag slips from her hands. That’s when a young police cadet approaches. Lucas Dubois helps her up. Hearing her story, he immediately decides to accompany her.
“We’re not leaving without that dress,” he declares firmly.
Together, they return to the boutique. Faced with his uniform, the saleswoman immediately changes her tone, and the manager rushes to intervene. While Marie selects a delicate lavender dress, Lucas files a complaint for discriminatory behavior. Then, with a simple but generous gesture, he offers to share the cost. The dress is paid for half by each of them, and they leave the store side by side, under the sun, with the promise of a prom unlike any other.
On the night of the prom, Léa sees the dress. Amazed, she instantly understands her grandmother’s sacrifice. Her eyes sparkling, she whispers: “Grandma… it’s perfect.”
Like a modern fairy tale, she then dances across the floor, light and radiant. In the hall, a little apart, Lucas is there too, invited by Marie to share in their family celebration. The circle is quietly, gently completed.
Sometimes, everything begins with a simple question: “Tell me what happened…” — and suddenly, the world seems a little fairer.
