Les Choses humaines

By Yvan Attal

Synopsis

The Farels are a pow­er cou­ple: Jean is a promi­nent French pun­dit and his wife Claire, an essay­ist known for her rad­i­cal fem­i­nism. Togeth­er, they have a mod­el son, Alexan­dre, who is a stu­dent at a pres­ti­gious Amer­i­can uni­ver­si­ty. Dur­ing a brief vis­it to Paris, Alexan­dre meets Mila, the daugh­ter of his mother’s new part­ner, and invites her to a par­ty. The next day, Mila files a com­plaint against Alexan­dre for rape, destroy­ing fam­i­ly har­mo­ny and set­ting in motion an inex­tri­ca­ble media-judi­cial machine that posits oppos­ing truths.
