In 1963, Esther gives birth to Roland, the youngest of a large family. Roland is born with a club foot that prevents him from standing. Against everyone's advice, she promises her son that he will walk like the others and that he will have a fabulous life. From then on, Esther will do everything in her power to keep this promise. Through decades of trials and miracles of life, this film is the story of a true, funny and moving story, that of an incredible destiny and the greatest love there is: that of a mother for her child.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Light cinema for a light evening. Not every joke lands, but enough do. No pretense, no falseness.

Weaker than hoped in the first half, but hits its stride in the second act. Individual moments are genuinely funny. The finale is a bit rushed, but doesn't ruin the impression.

For those who want a mood lift without effort. Fans of dark or intellectual comedy — move along.

Director: Ken Scott
