    • Synopsis
    • The paths of Abou, Morgane, Laura, Cadiatou, Jacques,
      and Armelle have crossed one of Emmanuelle’s ten years ago.
      She was their French teacher at a high school in Marseille’s
      working-class neighbourhood. Together they took part
      in a film - CHILDREN OF THE PRINCESS OF CLEVES (2010) -
      in which, while analyzing the classic text, they expressed
      their hopes, dreams, and fears.
      In EN NOUS, the director re-connects with the protagonists
      and reports back, ten years later, on the paths they have
      taken in today’s society. Memories blend with stories of their
      lives and the daily obstacles they are obliged to overcome
      whilst trying not to lose hope, and the sentence of
      The Princess of Cleves rings poignantly true: «I know
      nothing can be more difficult than what I undertake.»
