Brigitte Sy : 2015
Astragal
On a night in April 1957, Albertine, a brilliant and rebellious 19-year-old girl, jumps from the wall of a prison where she's serving a sentence for a holdup. She breaks her anklebone: the astragalus. She is rescued by Julien, a fugitive from justice, and a burning passion between them ensues. He takes her to Paris and hides her. But while he leads his gangster life, pulling off robberies in the provinces, and Albertine walks the streets of Montmartre to make a few francs, the young woman struggles for her freedom and against the wounds inflicted by Julien's absence. Eventually she reunites with Marie, a former lover and partner in crime – a liaison that will result in the girls' arrest and imprisonment. Adapted from Albertine Sarrazin's autobiographical novel, Brigitte Sy's second feature screened in competition at Odessa International Film Festival 2015.
