Milla
Valérie Massadian
Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Milla and barely-older Leo run away to a small port town in Northern France and find an empty house to live in, which they gradually make a home. Two lovers seemingly alone in a cruel world. A love to live, and a life to invent and hold onto always, no matter what. Bereft of sentimentality, seemingly simple and profoundly moving, Valérie Massadian’s expansive portrait observes time and the details of life in a unique way. A memorable and transformative work that begins and ends with two different, yet equal, kinds of love.
