    • Tom is 6. With his camera, he films his mother, the dog, the back alley. He has learning disabilities, he’s hyperactive, he’s violent at school and he eats potato chips for dinner. Tom is the son of Nathalie, a loving mother with bipolar disorder and a drug addiction; the brother of Caroline, an escort who’d like to go back to school; and the grandson of Madeleine, a grandmother who’s tired of taking care of everyone. My Name is Tom is a film about life and childhood amidst chaos, the passage of time, family histories and maternal love.
