CGiii Comment
A flying baby!!!
Whatever next?!
Possibly, the most ridiculous metaphor to be committed onto film...an insult to the audience.
Ozon has no idea where this is going...one minute it is French social comment...the next, some Hollywood fantasy with cheap sentimentality.
This is not Ozon territory...it's time he went back to do what he does best.

The(ir) Blurb...
Katie, a single mother living in France with her daughter Lisa, struggles to make ends meet while working at a chemical factory. There, she meets Paco, a co-worker from Spain. Soon, they move in together, and Katie becomes pregnant. Katie gives birth to a baby boy, named Ricky, and she and Paco raise him together in their tiny apartment, along with Lisa. However, it soon becomes apparent that Ricky is no ordinary baby; he develops a pair of functioning wings and becomes able to fly. Soon he is flitting about in their tiny apartment, and together Katie and Paco struggle to raise and handle the ever-growing Ricky.
