The socially awkward math genius Marguerite is forced to reassess her entire existence in a French university drama that flirts with both A Beautiful Mind and Good Will Hunting.

The Swedish-familiar director Anna Novion (Rendez-vous in Kiruna, GFF 2013) returns to the festival with the engaging Marguerite's Theorem featuring Ella Rumpf (Raw) as the peculiar Marguerite who studies mathematics at one of France's most prestigious institutions. However, when Marguerite is to present her thesis, a devastating mistake is discovered that instantly undermines all her diligent work, and with lost credibility, she sees no other option than to leave the world of academia behind. In a charming coming-of-age drama about overcoming internal and external limitations, the inherent beauty of mathematics is also allowed to shine.
