Twenty years ago, Toni (Camille Cottin, star of Call My Agent) was on the verge of pop stardom with a chart-topping single. Though she still performs at local bars to support her family, Toni’s dreams of fame have long since faded with the obligations of parenthood. Now, at 43, her life revolves around raising her five teenage children as a single parent, itself a full-time job. But as her two eldest children prepare to leave for university, Toni’s familiar domestic routines are suddenly called into question. After years of putting her family first, what would it mean to pursue her own future? Grounded by Camille Cottin’s quietly moving performance, director Nathan Ambrosioni’s sophomore feature, TONI, is a richly observed character study of life in transition.

“A standout for this season, Toni is a work of great maturity from such a young filmmaker with undeniable talent.” —CNews

“A funny, touching, intelligent, and feminist family chronicle that explores many aspects of adolescent firsts, the challenges of that age, the mental burden of single mothers, sibling dynamics, and the strong yet fragile bonds between parents and adolescents.” —Marie Claire

“At just 23 years old, Nathan Ambrosioni brilliantly shows the contradictions of a 40-year-old single mother who does her best to raise her five children. In the title role, Camille Cottin is full of tenderness and infectious energy.” —Les Fiches du Cinéma

“Lively, touching, and funny.” —Le Figaro

“A beautiful, hopeful film.” —Positif
