English subs: L’Attachement

In this heartwarming French film, everyone discovers in their own way what place they can take in their own formed family. By being open to unexpected connections, the world around us can gain color. Sandra (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi), an independent fifty-year-old, suddenly has to share her privacy with her neighbor and her two children. Alex (Pio Marmaï) is a young, single father with great sadness after the death of his wife. His son Elliot is six years old and has to learn to deal with the new home situation.

The older neighbor Sandra runs a feminist bookstore and is very much on her own. Against all expectations, they become attached to each other. But who is she to them? And who are they to her? Director Carine Tardieu (Ôtez-moi d’un doute) shows once again how we can shape relationships and family ourselves. L’Attachement had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

Every Tuesday and Saturday you can enjoy one of the newest films with English subtitles.
