18-year-old Cécile (Lily McInerny) is spending the peak of summer on the Cote d’Azur with her father (Claes Bang) and his girlfriend (Naïlia Harzoune). Upon the arrival of Anne (Chloë Sevigny), a friend of Cécile’s late mother, the gentle, carefree summer begins to take a turn. Surrounded by the sun-soaked environment, Cécile’s life unravels. In a desperate attempt to regain control, she devises a plan to force Anne out. An adaptation of Françoise Sagan’s unforgettable coming of age classic, Durga Chew-Bose’s Bonjour Tristesse masterfully captures the complexity of female relationships and how they can exert control over each other’s destinies.
