Amanda

59th TIFF: Greek Premiere

A young man who refuses to take life seriously – as is often told about people without a fixed job and relationship – falls in love with a woman who just moved to Paris. But soon after, his life is brutally interrupted by the sudden death of his sister. Beyond the shock and the pain, he now finds himself alone with his young niece Amanda to care for. The bond between a child that is forced to grow up in one night and an adult who is still attached to his childhood years is only one of the contrasts that move this unique film, which fits in less than two hours all the mysteries and marvels of our fluid lives.
