From writer-director Katell Quillévéré (Heal the Living), Along Came Love is a moving portrayal of love, loyalty and family, and a unique exploration of the consequences of violence and intolerance.

Post-WWII France. A disgraced Madeleine (Anaïs Demoustier), publicly shunned for falling pregnant with a Nazi soldier’s child, moves to the seaside to escape her shame. There she meets a sophisticated, wealthy PhD student François (Vincent Lacoste), and, after a whirlwind romance, they marry.

While it’s clear what skeletons Madeleine is hiding in her closet, the ones François is concealing come out later in their marriage.

With excellent performances by the film’s two leads, this swooning romance premiered to acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival. Based on her own family history, it is arguably Quillévéré’s most personal film to date.
