DETAILS:

For our third and final February screening on Friday 24th, Lost in Frenchlation is bringing you the 'vivacious and emotionally gripping story of a teacher caught between passion for her students and love for her child', Hélène Angel's 'Primaire'!

‘Hélène Angel superbly contrasts the entertaining energy and colour of the classroom with the lonely and confused world of Sacha... Forestier delivers a magnificent performance as a woman unwilling to compromise her morals, resulting in a remarkably honest, optimistic and engrossing portrayal of school life’
- Alliance Francaise, French Film Festival 2017

The screening will start at the charming and typically Parisian cinema Le Brady at 7:15pm with tickets available online ONLY.

After the film, join us at ‘Tony’ – winner of a Time Out Paris Bar of the Year 2016 award – where you can enjoy the famous house cocktail for only €6, a Spritz for €5, or for those of you looking to satisfy your hunger, a selection of cheese and charcuterie accompanied by a bottle of wine for only €25! ‘Tony’ is only a 3 minute walk from Le Brady and there will be a privatised area for Lost in Frenchlation’s guests.

‘Devoted primary school-teacher Florence (an inspired performance by Sara Forestier [from the film] Suzanne) is a single mother who pours her heart and soul into her students each and every day. When she encounters the disruptive student Sacha and finds he has been abandoned by his mother, Florence devotes herself to helping him. But Sacha's plight combined with her impending work assessment put unthinkable strain on Florence, pushing her to a breaking point where she will put everything on the line, including her vocation and even her relationship with her own son’
