La pie voleuse

With the poetic sensitivity that characterizes his filmography, Robert Guédiguian returns with 'My Dear Thief'. A contemporary fable set in the picturesque neighborhood of L'Estaque, to the west of Marseille, the film immerses us in the life of María (Ariane Ascaride), a home caregiver who looks after elderly people in dependent situations. Her routine hides a small secret: María discreetly takes money from her patients to pay for her grandson's piano lessons, in whom she sees a bright future that she could never achieve.

Guédiguian, true to his style, intertwines the poetry of everyday gestures with a critical gaze towards the inequalities that permeate family bonds, aging, and labor precariousness. The narrative evolves into an ethical conflict when María is accused of abusing her position in front of vulnerable elderly people.

Starring the iconic Ariane Ascaride, a multiple international award winner, alongside Jean-Pierre Darroussin and Gérard Meylan. It is distributed by Mirror Audiovisual. With this, his eleventh feature film, Guédiguian reaffirms his commitment to human cinema, filled with truth and hope, in the tradition of his great titles such as 'The Snows of Kilimanjaro', 'Marius and Jeannette', or 'Gloria Mundi'.
