Screening of Holy Lola, a new film by BertrandTavernier

Holy Lola is the story of a young couple, Pierre

and Geraldine, and their desire for a child. This desire leads them

on a journey of initiation to Cambodia, on the other side of the

world. A difficult and extraordinary adventure begins for them,

one that takes them from orphanage to orphanage, brings them face

to face with French and Cambodian authorities and awakens them to

the reality of human trafficking. There are also the jealousies

and mistrust of a small community of would-be adoptive parents,

united by circumstance, to contend with. But these people also help

and support each other. The quest leads Pierre and Geraldine to

confront their fears and egotism. They break apart, grow close together

again and are forever transformed by the experience.
