Bonne mère

Good Mother

“What in the world is more beautiful than children?” Nothing for Nora, who crosses the city at dawn towards the airport and the small, tight-knit team that cleans the planes in constant rotation, before continuing with a second job as caretaker with Viviane, an old lady who has almost become a friend. Then comes time to go back to the North neighbourhoods to take care of her own family that she loves, but who gives her quite a bit of worry. With her second feature as director, Hafsia Herzi perfects her neorealist approach in the vibrant and chaotic heart of a poor Marseille family supported by the pillar of maternal love.
