Maiwenn's follow up to the acclaimed Polisse (Closing Night Film of the 2012 SFFF) is an intimate chronicle of a doomed romance starring Vincent Cassel (to be seen, fifteen years younger, in Read My Lips, playing this year at the SFFF, also in One Wild Moment - Mini Fall Fest 2015, Hate and Irreversible- SFFF 2006) and Emmanuelle Bercot (director of Standing Tall and On My Way - SFFF 2014, also co-writer of, and starring in Polisse).

Tony (Emmanuelle Bercot) is admitted to a rehabilitation center after a serious ski "on-purpose-accident." There, immobilized by her knee injury, she can take the time to look back on her turbulent relationship with her dream guy, Georgio (Vincent Cassel), and realize that, more than her knee, she needs to heal her wounded heart.
An effortlessly charming restaurateur, Georgio views the world as a stage upon which he is performing his life. At first Tony enjoys their whirlwind romance, but when it comes to building a life together and raising a family, Georgio’s incommensurable ego, and his inability to fully let go of his womanizing past, begin to tarnish the shine.

Emmanuelle Bercot won the Best Actress at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival for her heartbreaking portrayal of a woman desperate to fall out of love.
