Film Festival 2026
film synopsis
From Quebecois writer/director Ken Scott, the talent behind Starbuck (PSIFF 2012), one of PSIFF’s all-time favorites, comes the French box office mega-hit about an unrelenting Sephardic Jewish mother (Leïla Bekhti) who is fiercely determined to move mountains to ensure that her youngest son will lead the fullest of lives despite his clubfoot. Spanning decades of hardships and miracles, this dramedy tells the story of an incredible destiny and the greatest love of all: a mother’s love for her child. Adapted from Roland Perez’s autobiographical novel Ma mère, Dieu et Sylvie Vartan.
