Summary:
Paris, summer 1942. Irene is a nineteen-year-old aspiring actress without a care in the world. Her family watches her discover friends, new love, and a passion for the theater, all the while without her realizing that time is running out. Legendary French actress Sandrine Kiberlain makes her directorial debut with this allegorical coming-of-age drama set in Nazi-occupied France, which is in turns enchanting and devastating, anchored by a star-making lead performance by Marder 'which more than delivers on the luminous promise of the English title' (Screen Daily).
