Pour un fils (2009)
Directed by Alix De Maistre

Drama
aka: For a Son

Film Synopsis

Try as she might, Catherine still hasn't come to terms with her son Toni's disappearance ten years ago.  She has made every effort to rebuild her life but still her loss haunts her, even though she now has another son, eight-year-old Hugo, to preoccupy her.  It seems that Catherine is not the only person to have been traumatised by Toni's apparent abduction.  Omer, the policeman in charge of the investigation into the boy's disappearance, is still profoundly affected by the case.  He is the last person Catherine expected to see after all this time.  The news that Omer brings her is both encouraging and hard to believe.  It seems that Toni has suddenly resurfaced - or rather, a man who claims to be Toni.  Can it be that Catherine is about to reunited with her long-lost son, or is she about to fall victim to a cruel deception...?
