Short description

A successful florist named Pierre finds his stability disrupted when his mother, Judith, unexpectedly reappears after two years. Having recently escaped from a clinic, Judith struggles with bipolar disorder and possesses an extravagant, unpredictable personality. While Pierre focuses on returning her to the facility to restore order to his own life, their volatile and emotional reunion leads to permanent changes for both of them.

This French comedy-drama was directed by Julien Carpentier, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Benjamin Garnier. The film stars William Lebghil as Pierre and Agnès Jaoui as Judith, with a supporting cast that includes Salif Cissé, Alison Wheeler, Rosita Dadoun Fernandez, and Maxence Tual. Produced by Silex Films and CPCF 5, the movie has a runtime of 104 minutes. On TMDB, the film holds a rating of 7/10 based on 66 votes.

What's left behind the scenes

  • In the early 2010s, a director and screenwriter named Julien Carpentier had an idea for a short film in which a man receives a call from his grandmother telling him that he needs to drop everything and come home immediately because his mother has returned. Julien Carpentier offered the lead role to Agnès Jaoui. She declined due to a busy schedule that left no time for short films. He then asked if she would agree to act in a feature-length film (an idea that hadn't even occurred to him at first), and it turned out that she would.
