Hitler's insane ideas needed executors - men devoted to the Führer, yet simultaneously consumed by ambition and a lust for power. One of the most loyal was Joseph Goebbels, presented by Joachim A. Lang as the dark genius of Third Reich propaganda and the "seducer" of an entire nation. At the same time, he is a man disturbingly similar to the cynical spin doctors of contemporary politics. He is dynamic, hardworking, and devilishly inventive. He directs the press editors, eminent personalities of culture and especially cinema, which was the "new ... read more

Paris, 1963. Roland, the youngest of six siblings, is a boy unlike the others. Doctors predict he will never walk, but his unyielding mother, Esther, refuses to accept this verdict.

Her courage and love, sharp wit, humor, and belief in alternative medicine pave the way for Roland to live the wondrous life Esther has always dreamed of. The film is based on the autobiographical memories of Roland Perez, who grew up in a home full of hope, the music of Sylvie Vartan, and a mother's determination that, with the passage of years, proved to be as destructive as it was overflowing with love...
