About

Based on the best sellinng autobiography by Roland Perez, this exuberant and heartrending film pays tribute to a love like no other - a mother's love for her child. In 1963, Roland is born to Esther, her 6th child in their close-knit Jewish immigrant family living in the Parisian suburbs. When Esther learns that Roland has been born with a disability, she vows to ensure her son lives not just a normal life, but a fabulous one. She enlists the help of a determined specialist together with pop songs to help Roland defy all expectations and learn to walk. 

This joyful crowd pleaser is vibrantly shot by Oscar nominated cinematographer Guillaume Schiffman and features a powerhouse performance by Leila Bekhti as the fiercley devoted Esther. The film absolutelly smashed the french box office, counting over 1.5 million admissions.
