Description

Winner of 3 awards at the Venice Film Festival 2024, writer/director Anne-Sophie Bailly’s deeply affecting debut features one of France's most popular and talented comediennes.

Emotionally involving and honest, Bailly’s debut feature offers a moving observation of caregiving, inter-dependence and how society treats the rights of the most fragile. With Calamy excelling alongside her impressive non-professional co-stars, MY EVERYTHING is a stirring and resonant story of motherhood, compassion and acceptance.

Synopsis

Calamy plays single, middle-aged beautician Mona, completely dedicated to 30-year-old son Joël (Charles Peccia Galletto), who lives with cerebral palsy. Joël works in a specialised facility and is secretly in love with co-worker Océane; while Mona knows nothing of their relationship, all is revealed when it becomes evident that Océane is pregnant.

Océane’s parents and Mona are collectively stunned by the news, but the couple declare they are in love and determined to forge a life together. Mona finds herself torn between her son’s iron will, her maternal instincts and a suppressed desire to enjoy life on her own terms.
