The name of the film comes from a famous poem by the French poet Victor Hugo, "Mon père, ce héros," published in 1859.

Plot edit

André (Gérard Depardieu), a Frenchman who is divorced from his wife, takes his beautiful 14-year-old daughter, Véronique (Marie Gillain), on vacation to a paradise island. She is desperate to appear as a woman and not a girl. In order to impress a local boy, Benjamin (Patrick Mille), she makes up more and more fantastic stories, starting with André being her lover – a sugar Daddy. André is desperate to make Véronique happy and so plays along with her increasingly elaborate invented stories about her life.

Production edit

Filmed on location on Mauritius, the film introduces Marie Gillain as the young Véronique earning her a nomination for the César Award for Most Promising Actress.
