A mother's unwavering devotion helps her son, born with a clubfoot in 1963, overcome physical challenges and social barriers. Her powerful promise drives their remarkable journey through life's ups and downs. Told across decades, capturing the trials and miracles of life, Once Upon My Mother is the true, funny and moving story of the greatest love there is: that of a mother for her child. Featuring a rich soundtrack of classic songs from French music icon Sylvie Vartan, this vibrant tribute to enduring motherly love is a crowd-pleasing treat. In 1963, Esther gives birth to Roland, the youngest of a large family. Roland is born with a club foot that prevents him from standing.
