IN MOM'S HEAD
La tête de maman

This absorbing film is a decidedly French take on the role of extramarital affairs and everyone's undeniable right to happiness.

Fifteen-year-old Lulu (Chloé Coulloud) grew up with her devoted yet dull father and with a mother (Karin Viard) prone to depression, illness and self-centeredness. While tough to all appearances, Lulu longs to restore the smile to her mother's face, and most of all, for her mother's love. Happening upon an old home movie, in which her twenty-year-old mother beams with pleasure in the arms of a strange man, Lulu is certain that the key to her mother's happiness lies with this anonymous man from the past...
