Our Children
A film by Joachim Lafosse
World premiere date: May 22, 2012, Festival de Cannes
French release date: August 22, 2012
Murielle and Mounir love each other passionately.
Ever since he was a boy, the young man has been living with Doctor Pinget who provides him with a comfortable life. When Mounir and Murielle decide to marry and have children, the couple's dependence on the doctor becomes excessive. Murielle finds herself caught up in an unhealthy emotional climate that insidiously leads the family towards a tragic outcome.
With Niels Arestrup, Tahar Rahim, Emilie Dequenne
“Joachim Lafosse paints an image of how domestic bliss turned untenable builds to a crime unforgivable in"Our Children.”
“Lafosse explored the effects of perversely close-knit relationships on a handful of characters.”
“Belgium actress plays a woman who slides towards the unspeakable.”
