Me, Myself and Mum

Director: Guillaume Gallienne

Cast: Guillaume Gallienne, André Marcon, Francoise Fabian, Nanou Garcia, Diane Kruger, Reda Kateb, Otto Götz, Brigitte Catillon

Mrs. Gallienne, a rather temperamental upper middle-class lady, has three children, two of whom she considers as her sons and another she calls Guillaume. Logically indeed, the latter teenage creature does not picture himself as a boy, rather as a girl or at best as a homosexual. But how can a mother act in such an objectionable way? And why? Through a series of painful chain of experiences, Guillaume will discover little by little who he is actually and will manage to break free from her pernicious influence.

Le premier souvenir que j’ai de ma mère c’est quand j’avais quatre ou cinq ans. Elle nous appelle, mes deux frères et moi, pour le dîner en disant : "Les garçons et Guillaume, à table !" et la dernière fois que je lui ai parlé au téléphone, elle raccroche en me disant : "Je t’embrasse ma chérie" ; eh bien disons qu’entre ces deux phrases, il y a quelques malentendus.
