Guillaume Nicloux directs this French-language adaptation of the
novel by Denis Diderot. The film follows the fortunes of Suzanne
(Pauline Etienne), the child of a wealthy family who is committed
to a nunnery against her will. When informed by her mother Simonin
(Martina Gedeck) that she is an illegitimate child, the reasons for
her internment become clear to Suzanne: to ease the financial
burden on her cash-strapped family and to alleviate her mother's
feeling of having 'sinned' by giving birth to her. Suzanne's woes
are multiplied by first-hand experience of the corruption and
impiety of the church. Viciously abused by Supérieure Christine
(Louise Bourgoin), Suzanne attempts to escape her plight through a
series of letters begging authority figures to intervene and have
her vows annulled. Will she manage to break free?

A Jewish girl's story opens wounds from France's wartime past in
this drama from director Gilles Paquet-Brenner. Living in Paris
while her architect husband Bertrand (Frederic Pierrot) restores
his family's apartment block, writer Julia Jarmond (Kristin Scott
Thomas) stumbles across the wartime history of the block's original
Jewish owners, who were arrested by the Vichy government as part of
the notorious Vel' d'Hiv Roundup of 1942 and forced to sell their
property. As the story unfolds, Julia becomes increasingly haunted
by the fate of ten-year-old Sarah Starzynski (Melusine Mayance),
who, after being detained, escapes in a desperate attempt to return
to the block where she has secretly hidden her younger brother.
Written, produced, and mixed by Max Richter. Recorded at Eastcote
Studios by Phil Bagnal and Anna Tjan, and The Exchange Studios by
Mark Rankin. Texts by Haruki Murakami. Artist credits: Max Richter:
