Love Me Tender

Vicky Krieps is utterly magnetic in captivating drama about motherhood, desire, and the struggle for freedom.

Former lawyer Clémence (Vicky Krieps) has left both her marriage and her career behind to write and take control of her life. When she reveals that she has also started dating women, her ex-husband loses his footing and manipulates his way into gaining custody of their son—whom he turns against her. In a drama that is as subtle as it is razor-sharp, we follow her fight to hold on to both her child and her dignity in a system waging a moral war against women. Rising star Anna Cazenave Cambet (Gold for Dogs) adapts Constance Debré’s bestselling novel with gripping precision and clarity.
