ÀMA GLORIA
a film by :Marie Amachoukeli,
Six year old Cléo loves her nanny Gloria more than anything. When Gloria must suddenly return to Cape Verde to care for her own children, Cléo makes her promise that they will see each other very soon. Gloria invites Cléo to her island and the two must make the most of their last summer together.
Cléo a tout juste six ans. Elle aime follement Gloria, sa nounou qui l’élève depuis sa naissance. Mais Gloria doit retourner d'urgence au Cap-Vert, auprès de ses enfants. Avant son départ, Cléo lui demande de tenir une promesse: la revoir au plus vite. Gloria l’invite à venir dans sa famille et sur son île, passer un dernier été ensemble.
