An Impossible Love
Fri 22 – Mon 25 Feb
Synopsis
"★★★★★ – brilliantly dark and tender" – Guardian
It’s the end of the 1950s. Rachel, a young office clerk living in a provincial town, meets Philippe, a well-educated man from a wealthy family. They share an intense but short-lived romance, from which a daughter is born.
Over the next 50 years, their lives will be shaped by the unconditional love between a mother and her daughter, overshadowed by the impossible love of a woman for a man that rejects her, and of a daughter for an absent and abusive father.
