(2024, France, Belgium, 106')
Based on the novel L’intimité by Alice Ferney, adapted by the director along with Agnès Feuvre (winner of the 2022 César for Best Original Screenplay with The Divide) and long-time collaborator and author Raphaële Moussafir, the film centers around the story of Sandra (Bruni Tedeschi), a proudly independent woman in her fifties who suddenly and reluctantly finds herself sharing her space and intimacy with her neighbor and his two children. Against all odds, Sandra begins to grow increasingly attached to this new extended family. But who is Sandra in their eyes? And what do they mean to her?
Director and novelist Carine Tardieu is on her fifth feature film after La tête de maman (2007), Du vent dans mes mollettes (2012), an adaptation of the novel and comic by Raphaële Moussafir with Isabella Rossellini, Just to Be Sure (2017), which was presented at the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, and The Young Lovers, nominated for the César for Best Actress in 2023 with Fanny Ardant in the role of Shauna.
