La blonde de papa

They met their Prince Charming…and he already had children. That was all it took to transform them into…stepmothers!

Tens of thousands of women experience this phenomenon; yet, how often do we talk about it? Is the stepmother’s role a taboo topic? Isn’t it time we dusted off the persistent myth of the awful, wicked, two-faced stepmother?

Director Mireille Paris takes a new look at this social reality that too often gets swept under the rug. Through five family portraits, she attempts to show the true nature of the women who, like her, are somebody’s daddy’s girlfriend.

Here, then, are the stories of Monique, Catherine, Pascale, Nathalie and Mylène—five women who reinvent the story of stepmothers on a daily basis.
