Thomas meets Via at L'Empery after celebrating the end of the film 'The Master of Escape'.
He starts visiting the pub frequently just to see her.
Months later he discovers that Via has a son when he notices a photograph of a small child as the wallpaper on her phone.
When Maxim falls ill, Thomas offers to take Vua to where her son is. That moment marks the true beginning of their story.
Thomas understands from the very beginning that, to win Via's heart, he must also gain Maxim's trust. He never tries to rush the relationship and always respects the boundaries Via sets as a mother.
Over time, she hopes to build a family with both of them.

Matheo, 30, is a bookmaker.
He has a history of physical violence, problems with alcohol, and a past related to drugs.
He appears and disappears from Via and Maxim's lives depending on their financial situation. He gives money for the child when he wins bets, but tries to control Via's love life.
He doesn't want to get back together with her; he simply can't stand seeing her with another man.
When he discovers Thomas's existence, he begins to put pressure on Via and takes advantage of moments when she is alone to intimidate and beat her.

Maxim is four years old.
He is an extremely intelligent, calm, and curious child. His great passion is astronomy; he knows about planets and stars and dreams of becoming an astronaut.
He has a land tortoise named Marcs, his best friend.
Call Via 'Mommy' or 'Mami'.
When she meets Thomas, she feels curious about him and gradually develops trust thanks to the patience and respect that Thomas demonstrates.
Thomas never tries to replace his biological father; he simply wants to become a safe and constant figure for him.
Despite being a child prodigy and intelligent, Maxim behaves and expresses himself like a four-year-old, but with intelligence.

Via is 25 years old and works as a barista and occasional show host at the London pub L'Empery.
She is an enigmatic, serious, magnetic, sensual, and very sarcastic woman. She has a talent for fashion design and often sketches on napkins during quiet moments at work.
She is a single mother and her son will always be her priority. She loves Maxim deeply and is strict in raising him to be respectful and kind.
She finds it difficult to trust because of past experiences and doesn't allow just anyone into her son's life.
