FFM26 - L'attachement

'L'Attachement' won the César Award as the best French film of 2025. The gripping film adaptation of Alice Ferney's novel 'L'Intimité explores how unexpected ties can change our perception and definition of family. Sandra (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) is a feminist librarian who has never wanted children and only reluctantly agrees to look after her neighbor's baby son, Elliot, while his mother gives birth. When tragedy strikes, the lives of Sandra, Elliot and their father Alex (Pio Marmaï) are unexpectedly intertwined. With its tenderness and empathy, Tardieu's film is a moving depiction of grief, human bonds and the many forms love and family life can take.
