On Your Head (French: Le Ciel sur la tête) is a Canadian comedy-drama film, directed by André Melançon and Geneviève Lefebvre and released in 2001.[1] The film stars Arianne Maheu as Simone, a young blind girl living with her single father Marc (Serge Dupire) who is scheming to set him up with a single woman in their town, Céline (Céline Bonnier), so that she can have a new mother.[2]
The cast also includes Marc Messier as Céline's irascible anarchist father Gaby; Daniel Fanego as Diego, an Argentine pilot who is a rival for Céline's affections; David Boutin as Marc's best friend Fred on whom Simone has a schoolgirl crush; and Maka Kotto as Florent, the town's parish priest.[3]
