What Holy Lola Is About
Pierre and Géraldine are a French couple who cannot have a child. They travel to Cambodia to adopt. There they stay in the same hotel as other families waiting exactly as they are. The process runs for months: paperwork, permits, intermediaries, requests for bribes and rules that keep changing. The waiting turns people against each other. Bertrand Tavernier's French film neither sanctifies international adoption nor condemns it outright. It shows the corruption inside the system and the risk of child trafficking plainly; at the same time it does not belittle the desperation of people who want a child. Jacques Gamblin and Isabelle Carré take the leads. The tone is documentary and the running time long.
