Nora is a good person, the more people understand what life is all about the more they appreciate her. And she is a helping hand and the emotional support for so many people around her. However, her own children take advantage of her kindness and behave in a very immature way most of the time.
If you ask me, this French drama about a lower-class community, who find it really hard to make ends meet, questions Nora's being "a good mother".
Why does she put herself at risk and get drugs for her son who's in jail and then tell him "this was the last time"? Why does she tolerate her youngest son in his early 20s being a couch potato, the one who does absolutely nothing and behaves like he is ten? Or am I too much of a teacher?
One of her children tells her: Stay strong, we need you that way. And we know she will but is that the right choice?
