French helmer Katell Quillévéré's third feature is a medical drama based on Maylis de Kerangal's Booker-nominated novel. Stars Tahar Rahim and Emmanuelle Seigner.
"The film begins in innocence as a French teenager leaves his girlfriend's apartment and joins his friends on a road trip to a seaside surfing spot. In another town, a woman receives the news that her heart condition has become more serious. Elsewhere, medical staff at a regional hospital work through the critical daily details of saving lives. These stories are destined to intersect, but not before we are led through a series of intense and carefully balanced scenes in which people are forced to deal with the unexpected. Estranged parents, families with secrets, and children hiding news from parents (and vice-versa) become the grist of this emotionally intelligent story." (Toronto International Film Festival)
