Screening of the drama Àma Gloria, about a six-year-old girl and her nanny, hosted by the Institut français d'Écosse.
Institut français d'Écosse is screening the film Àma Gloria on Saturday 14 November, with the session starting at 18:00. It's a drama about the bond between a six-year-old French girl and her nanny, and the two of them are the heart of the whole thing.
The story follows Cléo, who loves her nanny Gloria more than anything. When Gloria has to return to Cape Verde to look after her own children, the two are forced to part ways. It's a small, personal setup—a young girl and the woman who's been her constant—and the drama comes from that relationship being pulled apart. If you're in the mood for something that focuses on a specific bond rather than a big, sprawling plot, this is exactly that kind of film.
The screening is hosted by the Institut français d'Écosse, the cultural centre on West Parliament Square. It's been promoting French language and culture in Edinburgh and across Scotland since 1946, and it's part of the wider Institut Français network that runs around the world. This fits right into that remit—a French-language film about a relationship that crosses borders, shown in the city's main hub for French culture.
