Toni / Toni en famille
Sat 09 NovUK PREMIERE + director Nathan Ambrosioni in person
Entente Cordiale with Angoulême
Antonia, 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 (played by Camille Cottin) 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 years of age, can she still grasp the opportunity to regain control of her life? Director Nathan Ambrosioni who came to the Festival aged 19 with his first film, 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.
