Run Time:

Passersby swarm to Claire Darling’s (Catherine Deneuve) front yard where she’s hosting an impromptu garage sale of her life’s possessions. Her priceless antiques, including a collection of intricate clockwork dolls, now sit vastly underpriced in order to empty her estate by this evening, which she is convinced will be her last. Alerted of her mother’s hasty actions, her estranged daughter, Marie, arrives to face her aging mother and try to stop the spontaneous sale. The day’s events trigger painful flashbacks for both women, and audiences are transported back through the family’s tragic history riddled with unsettled grief and guilt-ridden memories. For a mother and daughter who never seemed to see eye-to-eye, revelations of a past that once drove them apart may be what they need to finally bring them peace. Touching, eloquent, and beautifully crafted, CLAIRE DARLING journeys through a complicated mother-daughter relationship that seeks forgiveness following years of heartache. (In French with subtitles) –A.B.
