Cinema : The Nature of Love (FR)

Director: Monia Chokri
Year: 2023

Synopsis:
Sophia, 40, suffers from constant migraines and teaches philosophy at the University of the Third Age. She has been in a relationship for ten years with Xavier, a political science professor. They lead a comfortable life, and their relationship is fairly stable, despite a dormant sex life. They don’t complain about it, but clearly something has faded in that area. In contrast, they enjoy a rich and happy social life with friends and extended family.
Sophia’s life is turned upside down when she meets Sylvain, a construction contractor from the Laurentians whose lifestyle is the complete opposite of hers. On the brink of winter, she leaves everything behind to live this burning passion—perhaps the last of her life.
