Sandrine Bonnaire : 2012
Maddened by his Absence
After ten years, Jacques returns to France to manage his father's succession. He had left France to live in the USA to escape a painful past he shared with Mado, his former wife, after their son's death in an accident in the car he was driving. Mado meanwhile has built a new life with Stéphane and their seven-year-old son, Paul. Upon his return, Jacques and Mado meet again and he asks to meet her son Paul. At first Mado is suspicious of resuming ties with Jacques and hesitates, then accepts but hides it from her husband. Soon Jacques and Paul begin to spend more time together and affection grows between them, eventually disturbing Mado. Jacques then discovers a box of toys that belonged to his dead son, and despite the presence of husband Stéphane, he attempts to get closer still to Paul and Mado. Sandrine Bonnaire's first feature premiered at Semaine de la Critique du Festival de Cannes 2012.
