Ever-inventive, French auteur François Ozon (8 Women, Potiche) returns with a twisty, bittersweet story about age, youth, and the art of breaking the rules.

In a picturesque Burgundy village, Michelle is enjoying what looks like blissful rural retirement close to her old friend Marie-Claude, until their children make an appearance.

At once character portrait and tense drama with a thriller tangent, this is one of Ozon’s more realist films – until it isn’t.

Sly storytelling and Hélène Vincent’s terrific lead performance make this a richly relishable offering.
