The Last Ashes

In the mid-1800s, twelve year old Hélène manages to flee from an isolated patriarchal community in Luxembourg. Years later, she returns in disguise, determined to seek revenge on the family that killed her parents.

Directed by Loïc Tanson, The Last Ashes leans on a strong ensemble — Sophie Mousel, Timo Wagner, Jules Werner — 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 western titles of 2023.
