Sacha Goldberger describes his Super Mamika as a kind of endearing antihero: “The grandmother of Wonder Woman and Super Man, full of superpowers, a little clumsy… who does not control her strength; enter her home by the window, or crash on the side of it, prefers to take a taxi rather than flying (at least we can discuss)…”
If Mamika does not dress up to save the widow and the orphan in the hot neighborhoods, she is still a great heroine. Her mission? Maybe get our little old people out of their closets, make the younger generation think. Her most redoubtable weapon? Unquestionably: create smiles and emotion.
