La prisonnière de Bordeaux
2024 | Color | 108:00

Two women cross paths in the waiting room of a prison where each has come to visit “her man.” One is wealthy; the other works hard to feed her two children. The former, who lives much closer to the prison, offers the latter a room in her large house. Is this a friendship, a romance, a pact? The film follows the unlikely pair, their dreams of female emancipation, and the repercussions of the gulf between them.

The King’s Daughters

Based on a true story from 17th century France, the film follows Madame de Maintenon as she rises from humble beginnings to eventually marry King Louis XIV and open a school for girls. Conflict arises at the school when the girls begin demanding greater freedom, leading Maintenon to enforce an increasingly narrow set of regulations.
