Les Adoptés

France | 2010 | col | 100 mins | dir. Mélanie Laurent, with Mélanie Laurent, Denis Ménochet, Marie Denarnaud | cert. 15 | in French with English subtitles

Vivacious and alluring, Lisa and her adoptive sister Marine have been inseparable since they were ten years old. When one of them falls in love, however, the quirky family’s balance is thrown off. Before they can make individual adjustments to prolong their collective happiness, fate throws tragedy at them and the family must realign with a new reality in order to turn loss into hope and love.

Mélanie Laurent's (Inglourious Basterds, Beginners) directorial debut is a heartfelt, hopeful, and bittersweet take on love and rebirth.
