Description

Anaïs (the radiant Anaïs Demoustier) is 30, charming, always late, seemingly carefree, energetic, and rather broke. She has been putting off completing her dissertation for some time now. Though she has a lover, she is not quite sure if she actually loves him. When she begins an affair with the much older Daniel (Denis Podalydès), the rambunctious Anaïs becomes completely fascinated—but the object of her fascination is not Daniel, but his wife, the writer Émilie (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi). Anaïs decides to win her over, even if it means risking everything when she rushes to summery Brittany...

‘As light and airy as a summer breeze, “Anaïs In Love” (“Les Amours d’Anaïs”) captures a portrait of a young woman impulsively navigating the unpredictable twists of life and love. Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet’s elegant debut feature is pitched between the worlds of Eric Rohmer and Greta Gerwig or Agnes Jaoui… The role is a fantastic showcase for Demoustier, who lights up the screen with her boundless energy and beaming charm.‘—Allan Hunter, Screen
