Love Like Poison ( Un Poison Violent )
Anna (Clara Augarde) is a 14-year-old girl who comes back to the family home in small town Brittany from her Catholic boarding school for the holidays to discover that her father has left. While her devastated mother turns to the local priest (Stefano Cassetti) for comfort, Anna clings to her beloved grandfather Jean (Michel Galabru). As she prepares for her confirmation, Anna is drawn to free-spirited choirboy Pierre and finds herself questioning her religious beliefs as sexual desire rises irrepressibly to the surface. Director Katell Quillevere and actress Clara Augarde both make their feature debuts in this impressive coming-of-age drama.
