East Bay Intl Jewish Film Festival, Presents Ma Mère’/ ‘Once Upon My Mother’

Please come and join the members of Bonjour! for another french film, and dinner after the film for those who wish.

Paris, 1963. Roland, the youngest child of a large family, was born with a clubfoot. His mother Esther promises him that he will be able to walk like everyone else and devotes herself to ensuring that this comes true. God couldn’t be everywhere, so he created Esther. A beautiful, funny and touching film you won’t want to miss.

Underwritten by Sandra Anderson.
