This Other Winter

In the streets of a small seaside town frozen over by winter winds, two women search for each other and escape. Nina, the girl, guided by an emergency. Lili, the resigned mother. A twenty-year-long silence, erected like a wall, leaves them strangers. But what binds them together, such as the choice Nina is about to make, resonates powerfully in the story she shares with Lili.

Directed by Margo Brière Bordier, This Other Winter leans on a strong ensemble — Adèle Exarchopoulos, Lola Dueñas, Rabah Loucif — 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 drama titles of 2021.
