About Maman veut pu'
Thomas, a 15-year-old from Réunion, dreams of winning a breakdance contest and moving to mainland France. When his mother abruptly throws him and his sister Audrey out, they’re placed with an estranged father and forced to fend for themselves. The film follows the siblings as they confront abandonment and try to rebuild their lives, with dance as Thomas’s way to cope and push forward.
Directed by Grégory Lucilly, Maman veut pu' leans on a strong ensemble — Maxime Calicharane, Brillana Domitile Clain, Yaëlle Trules — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
