Violette

By Martin Provost

With: Emmanuelle Devos, Sandrine Kiberlain, Olivier Gourmet

Born out of wedlock early in the last century, Violette Leduc meets Simone de Beauvoir in post‐war Saint‐Germain‐des‐Prés. An intense lifelong relationship develops between the two women authors, based on Violette’s quest for freedom through writing and on Simone’s conviction that she holds in her hands the destiny of an extraordinary writer.
