A meeting takes place for the first time between a mother and her son whom she had given up for adoption at birth. Also present is a (not too competent) translator as the mother only speaks French whilst the son only speaks English. During the meeting the son expresses his feelings of anger at being "abandoned" and given up for adoption by his biological mother. The mother is highly distressed and the situation soon takes a turn for the worse.
