Fresh from a divorce and radiant in her newfound freedom, Clémence (another great role by Vicky Krieps) is finally embracing life on her own terms. Leaving a Paris swimming pool, glowing with confidence and desire, she meets her easygoing ex-husband Laurent to share unexpected news: she has fallen in love with women. But what begins as an honest and liberating confession soon shifts into a painful emotional battle, as Laurent quietly starts to undermine the fragile balance of their shared custody arrangement.
In this emotionally charged adaptation of Constance Debré’s autobiographical novel, director Anna Cazenave Cambet crafts an intimate and provocative portrait of a woman fighting to reclaim herself. At the heart of the film is a mesmerizing performance by Vicky Krieps, who brings extraordinary vulnerability, sensuality and strength to Clémence’s journey.
Set against the backdrop of contemporary Paris, the film fearlessly explores the impossible expectations placed on women — and the painful tension between motherhood, personal freedom and the right to reinvent oneself. Tender, daring and deeply human, this is a powerful story about desire, identity and the cost of choosing your own happiness.
