What’s the worst thing that can happen to us? And therefore the most difficult to forgive? It is from this question that the idea of the film “A mother” was born. forgiveness is therefore one of the themes highlighted by Sylvie Audcoeur, but it is not the only one. Very quickly the role of THE mother arrives. How do you support your child as a mother and how far?
For the director “A mother” is a very personal story. “Not in the factual sense of an autobiographical story, but in the sense of emotions that run through the film”.
The story of the film is that of Aline who never managed to mourn her son who died at 17 in a brawl. When she crosses by chance her attacker, just released from prison, she decides to build a plan to get revenge. As determined as she is, Aline begins to doubt as you go that she gets to know the young man.
To play this woman who viscerally wants to kill, you needed an actress with extremely animal instincts. And to which we can identify. Right from the writing, Sylvie Audcoeur thought of Karine Viard accepted, motivated by the reservoir of very intense feelings to play.
