“Devos is a study in the small gesture, the hint of a smile, the faint suggestion of playfulness long suppressed.”—Time Out
Emmanuelle Devos is Éliane, a woman well-known in her quiet community for her devotion to both her young pupils and to her family. But Éliane is fraught with unconsummated passion, and longs to become a writer. A new laptop opens up venues for Éliane, as do the attentions of an attractive young publisher. Veteran actress Idit Cebula makes her feature debut with this sharply realized and realistic comedy, anchored by a solid and knowing performance by Devos.
