After the global success of Cannes Palme d’Or-winning ‘Shoplifters’, the much anticipated new film from writer/director Hirokazu Kore-eda unites French screen legends Catherine Deneuve and Juliette Binoche for the first time to tell the story of a celebrated actress and her estranged, now-adult daughter. A must see at TPH!

Fabienne (Deneuve) is a star; an icon of French cinema. She reigns amongst audiences who love and admire her. When she publishes her memoirs, her daughter Lumir (Binoche) returns from New York to Paris with her husband (Ethan Hawke) and young daughter in tow. As mother and daughter tentatively reestablish bonds, accounts will be settled, secrets told and loves confessed.
