Looking for herself and in an attempt to break free from suffocating family ties, fifteen-year-old Suzanne (the debut role of Sandrine Bonnaire) goes searching for loveless sex. A quest that further strains the relationships at home. The unsentimental, raw À nos amours is the most famous work by French filmmaker Maurice Pialat, and is considered one of the highlights of 1980s French cinema.

ZomerCinema: AMOUR
First love, obsessive love, forbidden love, unrequited love, true love: love comes in a thousand forms — and thus in a thousand films. With a programme of twelfe French films, we celebrate (and question) love in all its manifestations. Because France is the country of love. Right?
From sultry summer films to works that explore the destructive shadow sides of love. And from classics by established filmmakers such as Claude Chabrol and François Truffaut to films by contemporary directors such as Justine Triet and Vanessa Filho: it is l’été de l’amour.
