Having lost his father at the age of two, 12-year-old Matthew is convinced that he too will die young, just like all the men in his family. When he sinks into a coma after an accident, his mother Agathe starts to investigate this hypothetical malediction and makes a revealing discovery. Going beyond the mysterious plot, “Agathe” casts a new angle on the mother/son relationship drama, and Florence Pernel gives an accurately restrained performance as a tortured woman determined to save her son. First-time feature director Deluz impresses with her deft handling of difficult topics rarely treated on television.
