Paternal
In a small town in central France, Simon is a priest devoted to his parish. During a mass, Louise, whom he hadn’t seen since his seminary years ago, reappears. She introduces him to Aloé, an 11-year-old child, who is his son. This news will disrupt his daily life: can he be a good priest for his parishioners and a good father for his child? Simon will try to convince the highest authorities of the Church that his vocation is compatible with paternal love.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its emotional core not on grand gestures, but on the quiet weight of everyday moments and unspoken tensions. It relies on the power of restrained performances and explores the conflict between divine calling and human connection with remarkable subtlety.
What lingers after the credits is not a dramatic resolution, but a profound sense of a life caught between two irreconcilable kinds of love. It’s a quiet, poignant study of an impossible choice. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Ronan Tronchot
