France

Based on the autobiography of Roman Gary

Starring Charlotte Gainsbourg and Pierre Niney

The life of writer Romaine Gary was always exceptional and special. From his difficult childhood in Poland to his sunny youth in the city of Nice in the south of France, and from there to the aviation course in Africa during the Second World War. But his urge to contain thousands of years of experience into his life and be a famous person and great author he owed to his mother Nina. The crazy love of the greatest women of his life. All of these things made him one of the great writers of the twentieth century. A man who lived a life full of transitions, passion and muster. But this boundless maternal love was also a great burden that affected Romaine Gary throughout his life.
