Amanda
Young love is cruelly corrupted by tragedy in director Mikhael Hers's heart-rending drama, co-written with Maud Ameline. David (Vincent Lacoste) lives in Paris, where he juggles two jobs without any clear sense of the direction his life is heading. He is an affectionate uncle to a young niece, Amanda (Isaure Multrier), whose single mother Sandrine (Ophelia Kolb) is an English teacher in the French capital. A terrorist attack in a Parisian park robs little Amanda of sole protector and clueless David is compelled to become the girl's guardian, with perfunctory support from his aunt (Marianne Basler). As he struggles to come to terms with the death of his sister and Amanda's needs, David adds to his heavy emotional burden by falling in love with Lena (Stacy Martin), one of the survivors of the atrocity.
