It’s been four years since Sylvie’s son Felipe was abducted by his father Pablo after their divorce. Having been let down by the French officials who had succeeded in tracking both them down, only to let them escape again, Sylvie has now decided to take matters into her own hands. Sylvie gains new information on the whereabouts of her son, via a private detective she hires. Aided by her friend and social worker Mehdi, Sylvie sets off to Uruguay, where Felipe is rumoured to be living. What she discovers will force her into a dramatic new set of life choices. The second feature film by promising director Olivier Peyon, Life Beyond Me is an intense personal drama of love, loss, and the possibilities of reconciliation.
