Conversations avec ma mère
Santiago Carlos Ovés et Jordi Galcerán / Pietro Pizzuti
Jaime, a fifty-year-old father, calls his joyful eighty-year-old mother more often than he visits her. Yet, one night, he goes to see her in person to tell her some very bad news: because of the economical crisis, he was laid off and he has to sell the apartment she lives in. But she is bluntly going to refuse this solution. During their overwhelmingly honest tête-à-tête, Jaime is going to show his deep despair; he will be consoled by a human warmth who would soften the toughest of men and the duo will reach mutual and permanent gratefulness for one another. Jacqueline Bir and Alain Leempoe play this story, adapted from an Argentinean film made by Santiago Carlos Ovés with their souls and a sweet complicity as they are directed by Pietro Pizzuti.
