Me, Myself and Mum

"My Mother and Other Strangers" explores the journey of Guillaume as he navigates through societal expectations and personal identity to ultimately define what it means to be a man. From a young age, Guillaume feels an inherent disconnect between his perceived gender role and his inner desires, causing him to explore alternative personas throughout his life, including that of a girl and a homosexual. As he reaches the age of 30, his world is turned upside down when he meets a woman who challenges his mother's hold on his life and opens him up to new perspectives on love and relationships.The film masterfully weaves together elements of tragedy and comedy as it delves into Guillaume's personal struggles, providing an intimate look at the complexities of gender roles, sexuality, and self-acceptance. At its core, this is a story not just about a man discovering his true identity but also about an actor who never stopped being drawn to the power and beauty of femininity, perhaps even too deeply at times. Through Guillaume's journey, audiences will be reminded that the road to self-discovery can often be filled with laughter and tears, triumphs and setbacks, as we strive to live life on our own terms.
