Franco-Belgian film

Don't miss this sensitive and poetic dramedy directed by Cédric Klapisch, co-written with Santiago Amigorena. The film follows about thirty members of the same family who discover they are going to inherit an abandoned house in Normandy. Among them, four distant cousins, Seb, Abdel, Céline, and Guy, are tasked with taking inventory. Inside, they find forgotten treasures and clues that lead them to Adèle, a mysterious ancestor who left Normandy at the age of 20 to go to Paris in 1895, at a time when photography was developing and Impressionism was taking off.

Through a narrative that shifts between 1895 and 2024, Cédric Klapisch offers a journey into family memory, exploring the invisible bonds that connect us to our ancestors. It is a moving reflection on heritage, identity, and the dreams that shape the future.
