Short description

Maria is a caregiver for elderly people who struggles with severe financial instability. Despite the devotion she shows her clients and the affection they return, she steals small amounts of money from them to improve her situation. This cycle of theft eventually leads to her being taken into police custody following accusations of abusing vulnerable adults.

The film was directed by Robert Guédiguian, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Serge Valletti and served as a producer. This production follows And the Party Goes On (2023) and precedes A Woman Today (2026) in the director's filmography. The French comedy-drama stars Ariane Ascaride in the lead role of Maria, alongside Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Gérard Meylan, Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet, Marilou Aussilloux, and Lola Naymark.

Released on January 29, 2025, the movie has a runtime of 101 minutes and was produced by Agat Films & Cie and Ex Nihilo. On TMDB, the film holds a rating of 6.2/10 based on 98 votes.
