One of the shocking, media-followed incidents in the modern history of France is brought to the big screen: a woman lies about being a victim of an anti-Semitic attack on a train. In a crime that stunned a whole nation, everyone wonders why would anyone fabricate such a tale? Watch the movie trailer, and meet jobless, soul-searching Jeanne (Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Winner Emilie Dequenne) on rollerblades.
Jeanne lives with her mother Louise (Catherine Deneuve), and we watch as the events in her own personal life, a relationship that finishes before it has even properly begun, and an employment with a well-known Jewish activist, compel Jeanne to invent this horrific lie and the subsequent media storm that develops.
Watching the trailer for this movie will make you think even before you go and see the whole movie. This is a nerve wrecking psychological drama that will make think about religion and race, and people holding on to or losing their identity.
