Directed by François Delisle

Drama

Film Synopsis

The lives of Christophe and Irène are brutally upended when their eight-year-old son Hugo mysteriously disappears at school one afternoon.  Days pass, then weeks, but the police investigations leads nowhere.  The strain on the couple's relationship becomes too much to bear and they are driven apart by grief.  Christopher moves to Mexico, where he survives by doing odd jobs.  Irène remains in Montréal and devotes herself to her career as a choral singer.  Ten years have elapsed before the police contact Irène with the news that they have found Hugo - or rather his dead body.  Unable to deal with this by herself, Irène is forced to get in touch with Christophe and ask him to come back to her.  Now that they are united in a grief that dare show itself, their former feelings for one another begin to reassert themselves...

The greatest French Films of all time
sb-img-4
With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
The very best sci-fi movies
sb-img-19
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
Continental Films, quality cinema under the Nazi Occupation
sb-img-5
At the time of the Nazi Occupation of France during WWII, the German-run company Continental produced some of the finest films made in France in the 1940s.
The brighter side of Franz Kafka
sb-img-1
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
Kafka's tortuous trial of love
sb-img-0
Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
