About Pitchi-Poï ou La parole donnée
May 1944, in Provence, a young Jewish woman fleeing Nazi persecution, entrusts her three-month-old granddaughter to a stranger, Mathieu, a solitary shepherd who will raise her alone. Once the war is over, he will leave with her, in search of the mother. A research that will last more than twenty years and that will lead them to several European countries.
Directed by Guy Casaril, François Billetdoux, Pitchi-Poï ou La parole donnée leans on a strong ensemble — Georges Rouquier, Claude Marcault, Karine Levy — 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 1967.
