Melody

Bernard Bellefroid : 2014

28-year-old Melody, a confused child born under the name X, decides to rent out her body in order to get the money she needs to realise her dream of opening a hairdressing salon. To do so, she accepts to carry the child of Emily, a rich English woman, 48 years old, who can no longer have children. To make sure everything goes well and keep an eye on her future child, Emily decides to welcome Melody into her home and stay by her side throughout the pregnancy. Although they first appear to come from completely different worlds, the two women end up adopting each other: Melody finds in Emily the mother she never had, and Emily sees in Melody the daughter she always wanted to have. However, the bonds that emerge during this double maternity will create all kinds of doubts and questions. Bernard Bellefroid's second feature was winner of a joint Best Actress award when it premiered at Montréal World Film Festival 2014.
