Sous les étoiles de Paris

Here we have a story of homelessness and a lost child. Not just a story of one homeless woman who, it appears once held a responsible white collar job and wore clean clothes and had well kept hair, but a story of the homeless of Paris. Hidden in dark places, some are the truly lost and yet others, living in their tent cities, still trying to live normal lives, we explore the kindness of human nature and the purely surviving.

A young boy who has lost his mother will soon lose her forever but for the gargantuan efforts of a homeless woman who limps with untreated wounds and has given up. Apart from him.

This is a beautiful gem. If people have never experienced the issue of having nowhere to go, nowhere to shower, food insecurity, it will be a bit of film about a determined woman who once lost a child of her own. However, for those who understand what's going on in our world societies, this is heartbreaking.

Beautifully made. Gloriously acted.
