A Mother (2015)

In the heart of a world that teeters on the brink of despair, we find Marie, a resilient woman, entangled in a strained relationship with her teenage son, Guillaume. A boy contoured by societal labels, Guillaume is deemed 'deficient' by psychologists, a scarlet letter that echoes through the hallways of the high school from which he is expelled. His world, a whirlpool of aimlessness, is a stark contrast to the steady job he craves yet cannot secure. As the threads of their relationship fray and unravel, Marie finds herself at a standstill with Guillaume. He is often found lost in the company of his pals, a group notorious for a potential hit-and-run incident involving a father of four. This incident, a specter that haunts their existence, lives in the realm of speculation and uncertainty, casting long shadows over their lives. Caught in this emotional tug of war, Marie's ex-partner, Pierre, remains a distant figure. His support, a mere illusion, is as elusive as the peace Marie desperately seeks. Despite being in the eye of the storm, Marie refuses to surrender. But even as her spirit remains unbroken, the specter of a lost battle looms ominously, threatening to engulf her existence. A Mother is a poignant exploration of resilience in the face of adversity, a raw and haunting portrayal of a mother's struggle to hold onto hope amidst a world spiraling into chaos.
