Description
In a career-best performance, Virginie Efira plays Rachel, a 40-year old teacher whose world view is challenged when she falls in love with Ali, a divorced father of one. Previously ambivalent about the prospect of motherhood, Rachel’s maternal instincts are awakened as she spends time with Ali’s four-year-old daughter, Leila. As their relationship progresses, Rachel willingly assumes more of the parental duties, and the three establish a comfortable blended family dynamic. The limits of this arrangement are tested by the presence of Leila’s biological mother and Rachel soon realizes that there are boundaries she cannot cross. A joyful dramedy from Rebecca Zlotowski (Planetarium).
