A Faithful Man

L'Homme Fidèle

59th TIFF: Greek Premiere

Eight years after their separation, Abel meets Marianne in a funeral. Marianne has just lost her partner, father of her child, and former best friend of Abel. This tragic loss raises the spirit of Abel, who tries (and manages) to win back his former love. But as the lovers learn one another from scratch, Marianne’s son, Joseph, and Eva, Paul’s sister, who is in love with Paul for some years now, machinate in the background of their affair. A contemporary comedy of manners with utterly loveable, vulnerable people as protagonists, continuing the legacy of the French New Wave.
