Screenings
Seydoux plays Lucy, whose marriage to Philip, the father of their young son, appears happy and stable until he is investigated by the police for possessing child sexual-abuse material. The officer in charge is balancing work with a challenging personal life, caring for an ailing father whose behaviour crosses boundaries. Morally complex and boldly directed, Marie Kreutzer’s drama raises the most disquieting questions about deception and trust between loved ones.
