Carole leads a quiet and monotonous life, which is turned upside down by the arrest of her son in the Amazon rainforest, a victim of a plot orchestrated by local palm oil trade lobbies. Alexandra Lamy brings energy to one of the first ecological thrillers in French cinema. The director draws on the best of the politico-judicial genre (reminiscent of Alan Parker's The Life of David Gale) as well as tropical epics (like The Mosquito Coast), creating a thrilling journey across different continents. Lamy, who has already explored various shades of the maternal character, excels in this new interpretation of "Mother Courage."
