THE HOLY CHILD
Directed by Stéphane Clavier
Marc is a 39-year-old Catholic priest, a model for his entire
parish. Fully dedicated to his religious duties, he is one
of the few enthusiastic advocates of priestly celibacy, having
even written a book about it. Cherished by the media, he has
become a star of sorts and is only too happy to serve God through
his celebrity. But trouble comes knocking at his door one day,
in the form of a smart-ass teen-ager who claims to be his son.
Now Marc has a problem on his hands. He can't get rid of the
little bastard, but he has no time for him either. To make
matters worse, the kid smokes dope and the mother is in jail!
So our good priest strikes a deal with his offspring: he will
take care of him, but on condition of absolute secrecy.
Inevitably the secret starts wearing thin! Moreover, Marc has
trouble staying detached from his son… and even more
trouble not falling in love with the child's mother when she
comes out of jail!
Running time: 90 min.

“A charmer! ”
Daniel W. Kelly, DVD TALK
“You've simply got to see this movie! The Holy Child is one of those very few DVDs you are thrilled to have discovered and gladly if not forcefully lend to friends so they too can discover it. This is an absolutely charming, original, smart, well-acted, French comedy with plenty of simply brilliant moments! ”
