Frédéric Bélier-Garcia

In 1950s France, a free-spirited woman trapped in an arranged marriage falls in love with an injured veteran of the Indochinese War.

Based on the 2000 book of the same name by Emmanuel Carrère, it is inspired by the real-life story of Jean-Claude Romand. L'Adversaire's protagonist Jean-Marc Faure (Auteuil) pursues an imaginary career as a doctor of medicine in a plot more closely based on Romand's life and Carrère's book than was Laurent Cantet's 2001 film L'Emploi du Temps. The film was nominated for a Palme d'Or at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.

Happily married with a daughter, Marc is a successful real estate agent in Aix-en-Provence. One day, he has an appointment with a woman to view a traditional country house. A few hours later, Marc finally puts a name to her face. It's Cathy, the girl he was in love with growing up in Oran, Algeria, in the last days of the French colonial regime. Marc hurries to her hotel. They spend the night together. Then she's gone again. And Marc's mother tells him Cathy never left Algeria. She was killed with her father in a bombing just before independence...

Three years after the Paris triathlon disaster, the center of the Capital is submerged, Sophia and Adil reunite for a high-risk mission: to track Lilith, the original predator, in the shark-infested Seine. There, they will discover that the deadly wildlife hides a much more surprising reality...

The seemingly separate lives of a group of men intersect entwining the fates of each of them over the course of a week.

Guy is a dogsitter. In the evening of a day where he has once again disappointed himself, on the edge of dropping off his last dog, he is stopped by bursts of voices. At the height of an argument, the dog's owners declare a minute of silence to solemnly consecrate their separation. Frozen, in spite of himself, in the kitchen of this couple, Guy's reminding the thread of his day (which is also the one of his life) and tries to read in it the sign of a destiny and a hope.
