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 stepmotherâs role a taboo topic? Isnât 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 somebodyâs daddyâs girlfriend.
Here, then, are the stories of Monique, Catherine, Pascale, Nathalie and MylĂšneâfive women who reinvent the story of stepmothers on a daily basis.
