The Lacemaker
DramaRomance
Pomme is a meek and mild French beautician whose life takes a fateful turn during a vacation to Normandy. She becomes the lover of middle-class literature-student François. The relationship sours when François takes her home to meet his parents, thanks in no small part to their differing social backgrounds.
VIBE
A quiet, tender exploration of a fragile romance tested by societal divides. It feels like a hushed confession, a gentle unfolding of hearts and the subtle sting of class prejudice in provincial France.
