Jean of the Joneses (2016)
Jean's just trying to keep up.
Directed by Stella Meghie
Chaos ensues after the estranged patriarch of the Jones family dies on their doorstep. When the paramedic who answers their 911 call tries to win over acerbic Jean Jones, his attempts are disrupted by old conflicts that come to a boil at the funeral.
La vie de Jean Jones, 25 ans, et de sa famille Americano-Jamaïcaine - composée de plusieurs générations de femmes de classe moyenne, bornées mais aimantes - est bouleversée lorsqu’un lointain grand-père meurt sur le pas de la demeure familiale en plein repas dominical. Tandis que Jean exhume des secrets familiaux, les tensions et les vieux conflits refont surface. Si les femmes de la famille Jones se confrontent à leur divorce, infidélités et délits passés, Jean fait face à plusieurs vérités : l’échec de sa carrière professionnelle et une handicapante incapacité à se remettre de sa précédente relation alors que l’amour lui tend les bras.
Fabularny debiut reżyserki i scenarzystki Stelli Meghie opowiada dynamiczną i burzliwą historię afroamerykańskiej rodziny, jamajskiego pochodzenia, złożonej z kliku pokoleń kobiet.
