My Way

Fredi got a raw deal: epileptic fits ,a daughter who sees her parents constantly tearing each other apart,no steady job,people interested in him only when they can use him. ,"Mon Ame Par Toi Guérie" depicts harsh living on the fringes of society : people in their mobile homes ,often on the dole ,whose only solace is fishing (for the father) or exchanging blue jokes with his pals in the bistro (the son). A guy ,Fredi, whose mom has just died,is told by his dad that her gift (she was a healer)has been passed down to him. Fredi does not care about his so called gift till one night when he knocks down a little boy on his motorcycle . —dbdumonteil
