La vie d’une femme — English subs

Gabrielle, 55, is wholly devoted to her work. As a surgeon and head of department at a hospital, she is constantly on the go, weighed down by the enormous responsibility on her shoulders. There is little time left for her private life: a loving husband and a mother who depends on her care. Yet this is the life she wanted, the life she chose for herself. When a novelist comes to observe her at work for a book, her carefully maintained balance begins to falter. How far is she willing to go to break free from the life she has built?

La vie d’une femme is a contemporary, nuanced, moving and richly layered portrait of a woman in her fifties. Selected for the main competition at Cannes.
