Farewell to the Night | L’adieu à la nuit

Muriel is overjoyed. Her grandson, Alex, will be staying at her place for a few days before moving to Canada. Intrigued by his curious behavior, she soon discovers he’s been lying. Alex is preparing a different life. Distraught, Muriel must act – and there is no time to lose.

Veteran French filmmaker André Téchiné collaborates yet again with  Catherine Deneuve on a film that begins as a personal story about a family and soon takes on surprisingly political dimensions.
