Holy Lola
2004 · Movie · 128 min. · France
"Holy Lola" is the story of a young couple, Pierre and Geraldine, and their desire for a child. This desire leads them on a journey of initiation to Cambodia, on the other side of the world. A difficult and extraordinary adventure begins for them, one that takes them from orphanage to orphanage, brings them face to face with French and Cambodian authorities and awakens them to the reality of human trafficking. There are also the jealousies and mistrust of a small community of would-be adoptive parents, united by circumstance, to contend with. But these people also help and support each other. This quest leads Pierre and Geraldine to confront their fears and egotism. They break apart, grow close together again and are forever transformed by the experience.
