Georges and Anne, a retired couple who spent their lives as devoted music teachers, now face their most difficult test. When Anne suffers a debilitating stroke, their once full and vibrant world begins to close in. As her health declines, their deep bond is put under immense strain. Directed by Michael Haneke, this powerful, unflinching portrayal of love, aging, and responsibility earned him his second Palme d’Or. Sensitive and sincere, it’s a story told with quiet honesty and emotional depth.
