The Duets

Born for the 20th anniversary of the Festival, The Duets program shines a light on these loyal pairs of directors and composers who, through their repeated collaborations, captivate our eyes and move our ears as spectators. For this new edition, the program features the duo of Jeanne Herry and Pascal Sangla.

present the film Pupille

The artistic history between Jeanne Herry and Pascal Sangla goes back some time. In 2018, five years before Je verrai toujours vos visages, the director and composer collaborated on Pupille, a drama that earned six César nominations, including for Best Original Music.

Led by a brilliant cast, the film follows Alice, who has dreamed of becoming a mother for ten years, Théo, an infant placed for adoption, and a foster father full of nuance, tenderly portrayed by Gilles Lellouche. Through these characters, the film delicately and emotionally explores the intricacies of adoption.
