Synopsis
Australian Premiere
Partir un jour
Adapting her 2021 César Award-winning short film of the same name, the debut romantic dramedy from promising writer/director Amélie Bonnin stars Juliette Armanet as a rising Parisian chef who's forced to reconnect with her small town upbringing during an unexpected trip home.
Cécile (Armanet) is about to open her own gourmet restaurant and finally realise her dream when she has to rush back home after her father - the cook at a small rural truck stop - becomes unwell. Between the family emergency and the launch of her project, Cécile must deal with a return to her roots that is more complicated than she imagined, and when she runs into her teenage love (César Award-winner Bastien Bouillon), old memories and sensations resurface, and she finds her certainties shaking...
Making waves as the first debut feature ever selected to open the Cannes Film Festival in its 78 year history, LEAVE ONE DAY features musical interludes woven into the narrative, blending French classics with hits by artists such as Stromae and Céline Dion. Armanet, herself one of France’s most popular contemporary singers, sang John Lennon’s “Imagine” during 2024 Paris Olympic Games’ opening ceremony and proves to be a shining new star.
