Super Papa (already available for purchase and rental)
For his son Gabe’s 8th birthday, Tom inadvertently gives him a book… which only contains blank pages. To Gabby’s disappointment, and in order not to lose face, Tom insists that it is a magic book: you just have to write your dreams in it to make them come true. Here’s how, completely overwhelmed, Tom will do everything to fulfill his son’s dreams, even the wildest!
A story that may seem completely fantastic, and yet! For her first feature film, director Lea Landau was inspired by a true story, that of her own father. The main difference? Instead of fulfilling his son’s dreams, every night he answered the question asked by the latter in his notebook. “This anecdote is always very gentle and, ultimately, perfect for telling in the cinema” He confides.
This good comedy stars Ahmed Silla (Les Femmes du Square, La Guerre des Lulus) as this clumsy father who is overwhelmed by the situation.
