The Passengers of the NightThe Passengers of the Night

Mikhaël Hers follows 'Amanda' with another contemplative, delicate film, this time set in 1980s Paris, beginning on the day of President Mitterrand's election. Newly single mother Elisabeth (a magnetic Charlotte Gainsbourg) is left to support her two teenage children, Mathias (Quito Rayon Richter) and Judith (Megan Northam). Securing a job on her favorite late-night radio show hosted by Vanda Dorval (Emmanuelle Béart), she encounters struggling teenager Talulah (Noée Abita), who she offers a place to stay. In this new set-up, a new dynamic takes hold as each will experience compassion, determination and love, and an abiding bond between them.
