Memoir of War
“From the life of Marguerite Duras”
Drama
In the last days of the Nazi-occupied France, writer Marguerite Duras awaits the return of her husband, Robert Antelme, arrested for being a Resistance fighter and then deported, while she maintains a tense relationship with her ambiguous lover and a dangerous game with a French collaborationist. Even when the Liberation arrives, she must still endure the unbearable pain of waiting.
VIBE
A suffocating, intimate portrait of psychological endurance. The weight of occupation and the agony of uncertain loss create a palpable dread. It's a stark, unflinching look at the quiet horrors of war, even in its aftermath.
