Happening

France, 1963. Anne is a bright young student with a promising future ahead of her. But when she falls pregnant, she sees the opportunity to finish her studies and escape the constraints of her social background disappearing. With her final exams fast approaching and her belly growing, Anne resolves to act, even if she has to confront shame and pain, even if she must risk prison to do so.

My Little Grandma

When her daughter abandons the family, a devoted grandmother becomes the sole caregiver of her beloved grandson — her “little treasure” — finding hope and purpose in their simple, love-filled life.
