\nCharlotte Gainsbourg turns in an exuberant performance as Nina, Romain Gary\u2019s overbearing single mom, and C\u00e9sar-winner Pierre Niney plays the illustrious author in this filial love story adapted from Gary\u2019s autobiographical novel of the same name. Hounding the boy at every turn \u2014 from his childhood in Poland, to his adolescence in the South of France, to his WWII adventures as a bombardier \u2014 Nina continually brags to everyone she meets that her son will become a great writer, a war hero, a French ambassador, and a Knight of the Legion of Honor. She thrusts her monumental aspirations onto her young son\u2026 and the beleaguered boy is determined to realize them for her.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\nWATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
