Demonstrating that there is no love greater than that between a mother and her child, Once Upon My Mother delivers a big-hearted, colorful and witty film based on a true story. Esther, is a larger-than-life Moroccan-Jewish mother who won’t take no for an answer when it comes to her child’s welfare. When her youngest son, Roland, is born with a club foot in 1963, Esther is told that he will never walk. Defying the odds, Esther devotes the next forty years to ensuring that Roland not only walks but also becomes wildly successful. This loving tribute to one mother who is by turn both endearing and infuriating will resonate with mothers and children everywhere.
