Abstract:
An **Oscar-nominated** story of love at first sight, in spite of major differences. Elise has her own tattoo shop, Didier plays the banjo in a band. He talks, she listens. He is a dedicated atheist, although at the same time a naïve romantic. She has a cross tattooed on her neck and has both feet firmly on the ground. They are so happy when their little girl Maybelle is born. However, the family is devastated when nMaybelle becomes gravely ill. Didier and Elise respond in very different ways but they realize they have to fight for her life together. Nominated for an **Academy Award** for Best Foreign Language Film. Winner of a Jury Award for Best Screenplay for a Narrative Feature and Best Actress in a Narrative Feature at the **Tribeca Film Festival**. Winner of an Audience Award at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. *"It's a rich, raw, heartache of a film, a beautifully composed, soul-stirring drama about love, family, sex, sorrow, faith, and music."* - Joyce Kulhawik, ***RogerEbert.com***
