AFFFF26: Out of Love

AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

Les Enfants vont bien

One summer evening, Suzanne (Juliette Armanet, the famous french singer also starring this year in Leave one Day) arrives unannounced at her sister Jeanne’s home, accompanied by her two young children. The visit is unsettling. The sisters have not seen each other for months, and Suzanne seems distant and hard to read, her behaviour raising quiet concern.

The following morning, Jeanne (Camille Cottin, Three Friends, AF FFF25) wakes to a shock. Suzanne has vanished, leaving behind only a farewell letter. At the police station, Jeanne’s confusion turns to anger when she is told that no search can be launched: her sister has chosen to disappear.

Suddenly responsible for her niece and nephew, Jeanne must put her own life on hold. Recently separated and only beginning to rebuild herself, she is forced to confront the weight of responsibility, the silence left behind, and the unanswered question of why her sister walked away.

Directed by Nathan Ambrosioni (Toni, AF FFF24), OUT OF LOVE is a quiet, deeply affecting family drama about sisterhood, absence and the bonds that endure when words fail. Carried by restrained performances and a sensitive use of light and silence, the film offers a poignant reflection on what it truly means to be there for those we love, even when they choose to leave.
