Ponette is a French drama film directed by Jacques Doillon. The story follows a four-year-old girl named Ponette who is struggling to come to terms with the death of her mother in a car accident.
After the tragedy, Ponette is sent to live with her aunt and cousins, but she refuses to believe that her mother is truly gone. She becomes obsessed with the idea that her mother will come back if she prays hard enough and follows a series of rituals.
Throughout the film, Ponette's innocence and vulnerability are portrayed as she grapples with grief and tries to make sense of the world around her. The film explores themes of loss, faith, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Ponette received critical acclaim for its powerful performances, particularly from its young lead actress, Victoire Thivisol, who won the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival for her role. The film is a poignant and emotional exploration of childhood and the ways in which we cope with loss.
