Fanny Ardant is a transgender parent trying to reconnect with her son in this tender-hearted dramedy from writer-director Nadir Moknèche.
"When his mother dies unexpectedly, Zino (Tewfik Jallab) leaves Paris and embarks on a search for his missing father, Farid. Unbeknownst to Zino, Farid transitioned into Lola (Ardant) 25 years ago, which not surprisingly complicates his search. After learning of his father’s gender re-assignment, it is Zino’s challenge to negate his resentment and ingrained prejudice to find a place for Lola who is keen to foster a closer relationship with her son since their reintroduction." (Alliance Française)
