Directed by Rebecca Zlotowski | 104 mins | 2022
High school teacher Rachel (Virginie Efira) falls in love with Ali, and then with his 4-year-old, Leila— strengthening her desire to have a child of her own.

Rebecca Zlotowski’s affecting dramedy is leavened by nuanced performances—including by none other than Frederick Wiseman, who appears as Rachel’s sonographer.
