The Nightingales

Henri and Anaïs go to Rome for the weekend. He seizes the opportunity to introduce her to his Isadora, the child he had with a childhood sweetheart. As for Anaïs, she returns to the city where she lived as a child with her mother, and where her mother died. Caught up in a tangle of past and present ties, Henri, Anaïs and Isadora will each have to experience loss and the mourning of the past.

Directed by Juliette Saint-Sardos, The Nightingales leans on a strong ensemble — Anna Lou Castoldi, Constance Rousseau, Grégoire Colin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2022.
