The Ties That Bind Us / L’Attachement

Exploring the challenges of modern family structures, the film follows a single father, a feminist bookshop owner, and a child seeking a place to belong as they navigate love, desires, and redefining what it means to be a family.

By revealing their aspirations, their fears, their choices, writer/director Carine Tardieu depicts different ways in which humans create families. Based on the novel L’Intimité by Alice Ferney, the title scooped a César for best film. Her new project All the Little Live Things was pitched at the Cannes Film Festival market and is based on the 1967 American novel of the same title by Pulitzer Prize winner Wallace Stegner.
