The Assistant poster

With his wife in labor, father-to-be Thomas (Malik Zidi) speeds to the hospital, and in the process, accidentally kills a young man on the road. That death sets into motion events that will change everyone’s lives forever, including the young man’s mother Marie-France (Nathalie Baye), who cannot recover from the trauma. Nine years later, Marie-France takes a job as Thomas’s secretary without him knowing about her connection to his past. As Marie-France’s maternal rage reaches tragic proportions, she insinuates herself into his life, his work and his family in this classic thriller à la Hitchcock.

Three cities that host the main European institutions were chosen after an unfinished battle between national interests, visions of Europe and personalities determined to impose their views.

And yet it is running… Colette Flesch, Jean-Claude Juncker, Louis Michel, and Catherine Trautmann share insights into the battles, compromises, and personalities that forged today’s European institutions.
