La Morsure

An empty park in Paris. The sky is low and dense, the trees are naked. A young and nervous woman waits for her lover. The liitle gril with her plays in silence. The man arrives. The little girl decides to explore the park.

Directed by Joyce A. Nashawati, La Morsure leans on a strong ensemble — Agathe Bonitzer, Rubis Loyzance, Ulysse Di Gregorio — 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 2009.
