In Paris, a young mother juggles her job as a translator with caring both for her young daughter and elderly father. Her life suddenly becomes further complicated when she embarks on a passionate affair with an old friend in an unhappy marriage. Acclaimed filmmaker Mia Hansen-Løve’s (Things to Come, Eden) gently poignant romantic drama artfully explores the ways in which life’s most melancholic moments can coincide with its most exhilarating joys.

Reviews

‘Hansen-Løve hits a career high note, delivering a quietly thoughtful and ultimately life-affirming portrait of the strange interaction between loss and rebirth. It’s a miraculous balancing act that pretty much took my breath away.’
★★★★★
Mark Kermode, The Obsever

‘The irony of being intimately connected while desperately lonely can be a hard one to digest. Yet director Mia Hansen-Løve prods at the concept with the same tenderness that she applies to all her films.’
