Toni en Famille
Toni is raising her five children alone. She also sings at bars and had a hit single 20 years ago. Today, as her two eldest prepare to go to college, Toni wonders: what will she do when all of her offspring have left home?
Antonia (Camille Cottin), affectionately known as Toni, is a single mother who tirelessly cares for her five children while juggling a demanding full-time job. Her evenings are filled with song as she performs in local bars to support her family. Toni possesses a remarkable talent, evident from a chart-topping single she recorded two decades ago. As her two eldest children prepare for university, Toni faces a poignant question: What lies ahead when her nest is empty? At 43, can she still grasp the opportunity to regain control of her life? Director Nathan Ambrosioni (‘Paper Flags’) crafts both a poignant portrait of a woman and a moving family tableau, displaying remarkable accuracy and delicacy. The film premiered at the 16th edition of Film Francophone d’Angoulême. Cast also includes Thomas Gioria, Léa Lopez and Louise Labèque. (Subtitles)
