Plot

In the midst of adolescence, Pierre journeys from his grandmother's quaint French abode to join his parents in the sun-kissed Canary Islands. His father, a man haunted by the ghost of his misspent youth, leaves abruptly for France, leaving a trail of cryptic conversations behind. Pierre's mother, a vivacious woman with a mysterious promise of a nightclub visit, stirs the air with suggestions of illicit interests, implying that onlookers might mistake Pierre for her lover. In between these unsettling experiences, Pierre finds solace in prayer. Tragedy strikes when his father passes away in France, and Pierre is tasked with the daunting responsibility of clearing out his father's office. The room, however, unveils a clandestine world full of disturbing pornography, revealing a side of his father Pierre never knew. His mother, far from sharing his shock, guides him into a nocturnal universe where morality is abandoned at the doorstep. This new world is rife with sexual exploitation, blatant exhibitionism, and unchecked wildness. As Pierre embarks on this unsettling journey, he must grapple with the realities of this new world and the shocking revelations about his parents. What will he make of the moral decay he's thrust into, and how will he reconcile with the enigmatic figure that his mother has become? The answers lie within the gripping narrative of Ma mère.
