Sandra is a middle-aged, free-thinking woman who runs a bookstore and lives alone. Early one morning her doorbell rings. She tentatively opens the door to find her very pregnant next-door neighbor standing on the landing with her husband and six-year-old son, Elliott. Her water\u2019s broken and they\u2019re off to the hospital. Could Sandra possibly look after the boy for just a few hours? However, things don\u2019t go exactly as planned. And what unfolds will change the lives of both Sandra and Elliott forever.\u00a0Carine Tardieu\u2018s seventh feature film pierces the many layers of what it means to be a child, to raise a child, to love a child and to live a life, and the countless bonds that are unconsciously, continually woven over time to create a \u201cfamily\u201d\u2026 no matter what form that structure may take.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOW PLAYING IN THEATERS.
