In her second film, Anna Cazenave Cambet embarks on an adaptation of Constance Debré's novel "Love Me Tender", creating a powerful portrait of maternal love, sexual discovery and patriarchal violence.
One decisive summer, Clémence confesses to her ex-husband that she has been having sex with women. The revelation triggers a devastating reaction: he takes custody of her son, plunging her into a spiral of loss and despair. Determined to regain her freedom and the right to be a mother, Clémence is forced to face not only a ruthless judicial system, but also her own ghosts, in a struggle that is as intimate as it is universal. Selected for the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival
Session as part of the French Film Festival 2025.
