Synopsis

Michel Gondry's documentary, THE THORN IN THE HEART takes a personal look at the life of Gondry family matriarch, his aunt Suzette Gondry, and her relationship with her son, Jean-Yves.

Suzette, Michel Gondry's aunt, was a school teacher from 1952 to 1986 and she tells Michel what it was like to be a teacher then in a rural and isolated part of France. But little by little, Michel discovers some family stories he was totally unaware of and uses his camera to explore it in a subtle but very emotional way.
