- Synopsis:
Oscar (Amir Ben Abdelmoumen), the narrator of this fresh fictional gem, is ten years old. Because his form of leukemia has not responded to treatment, he has been living in a French hospital for a very long time. His parents, who bring him gifts and surely love him, are uncomfortable during their infrequent visits. Dr. Dusseldorf (Max von Sydow) and the nurses are kind, but indirect and distant in their communications with him. Because no one talks to him about his illness or what is likely to happen, he feels isolated, alone, and miserable. When Mamie-Rose (Michèle Laroque), a very elderly hospital 'pink lady' (hospital volunteer) with an exotic past, enters Oscar's life, she brings honesty, warmth, and comfort to the lost child known as Bald Egg. Guided by this incredible person - a blunt-spoken, irreverent woman who touches him, kisses him, and tells him wondrous stories of her wrestling feats - the boy grows stronger. Who wouldn't under the influence of the Strangler of Languedoc? Of course Oscar is going to die. In addition to her generous companionship and her introductions of him to other children in the hospital, Mamie-Rose suggests letters to God as a way of feeling less lonely... - Actors:
