AMA GLORIA

Overflowing with tenderness that can break your heart, yet soaked in the truth of experiences that feel lived, visceral, and real, Àma Gloria attempts to explore the material from which the bonds of love are made and finds it complex, intricate, harsh, and ever so fragile. Six-year-old Cleo holds a deep affection for her nanny, Gloria, beyond anything else. When Gloria returns to her homeland, Cleo pays her a visit for one last transformative summer they will share together. It's not certain you can talk about a ‘coming-of-age‘ movie when the heroine is only six years old, but here you experience an almost literal emotional odyssey, full of depth and power, without a single saccharine moment, only dense, compelling truth. Which is made all the greater by the stirring performance of the young lead, Louise Mauroy-Panzani.
