Paternal: Géraldine Nakache confronts Grégory Gadebois with his “extraecclesiastical” responsibilities
Simon, a priest in a small village in France, has been facing his past since Louise surfaced…
Simon, a priest involved in his parish, leads a quiet life in a small town in central France. During mass, Louise, whom he had not met since his seminar years ago, reappears to tell him something quite funny… She introduces him to Aloé, 11 years old of whom he is the father . This news will turn his daily life upside down: can he fulfill his role as priest to his faithful and assume his role as father? In the hope of convincing the highest authorities of the Church, Simon will defend his argument with faith: his vocation is compatible with paternal love.
Ronan Tronchot tries his hand at directing a feature film for the first time in this drama starring several well-known faces of French cinema: Grégory Gadebois (Simple Things, Maria dreams, Delicious), Geraldine Nakache (Hippocrates, The Course of Life) And Lyes Salem (Youssef Salem is successful, DNA).
Paternal will be released on March 27, 2024 in theaters.
