While bound in an unwavering cocoon of reciprocal adoration, they clearly live in a bubble&#8230; which begins to burst the moment Luce starts school. Becoming acutely aware of her father&#8217;s handicap, as well as her own thirst for knowledge, Luce is caught in a crisis of loyalty. Will expanding her own inquisitive, lively mind, distance her from her beloved father? Gr\u00e9gory Montel (<em>Call My Agent!<\/em>) and Daphn\u00e9 Richard deliver beautifully nuanced, equally stunning performances, as father and daughter in this delicate modern-day fairy tale. Albeit one with no easy answers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the age of 17, <strong>Stanislas Carr\u00e9 de Malberg<\/strong> began his career as an actor in Louis Malle&#8217;s <em>Au Revoir les Enfants<\/em> (1987).
