Lov me tender

In the organizer's words:

Content:

Late summer, somewhere in Paris. Former lawyer Clémence is writing her debut novel and is absorbed in her newly discovered desire for women. She shares friendly custody of her eight-year-old son Paul with her still-husband Laurent. But when Laurent finds out about her love affairs, everything falls apart. He no longer allows Clémence to see their son and demands sole custody. His accusation: Clémence's lifestyle endangers Paul. A court battle ensues in which Clémence not only fights for her son, but also demands her sexual and intellectual self-determination.


Background:
Based on the novel of the same name by Constance Debré, director Anna Cazenave Cambet's second feature film shows a woman's struggle between her desire for freedom and the expectations placed on her as a mother and wife. Does she give in to her ex-husband in order to see her son again? Can she live happily without him? "Love Me Tender", celebrated at the Cannes Film Festival, is emotional, direct and resists simple solutions. And with Vicky Krieps, it has a sensational leading actress who fearlessly reveals the main character's inner conflict.
