Synopsis

Based on the novel by Constance Debre

Clemence has built a careful life: starting off with a law career and now a writer, an amicable separation from her husband Laurent, and shared custody of their son Paul. But when she falls in love with Sarah and finally lives as her authentic self, Laurent files to take Paul away from her.

Clemence (Vicky Krieps) finds herself fighting an unjust system that demands she prove she's fit to be a mother — simply because of who she loves. A tender, unflinching story of one woman who refuses to be erased.
