A poignant adaptation of Alice Ferney’s novel L’Intimité, Carine Tardieu’s The Ties That Bind Us explores how unexpected bonds can transform our beliefs and definitions of family. Sandra (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi), a feminist librarian who never wanted children, reluctantly agrees to care for her neighbor’s young son, Elliot, while his mother gives birth. When tragedy strikes, Sandra, Elliot, and his father Alex (Pio Marmaï) find their lives unexpectedly intertwined. Tender and empathetic, Tardieu’s film offers a moving meditation on grief, connection, and the many forms love and family can take. (Dir. by Carine Tardieu, 2025, France/Belgium, in French with English subtitles, 106 mins., Not Rated)
