Once Upon My Mother
Ma mère, Dieu et Sylvie Vartan

In 1963, Esther gave birth to Roland, who was born with a clubfoot that prevented him from standing. Against everyone's advice, she promised her son that he would be able to walk just like everyone else. Spanning decades of hardships and miracles, this film is the story of an incredible destiny and a mother's unwavering love for her child.
