FFFA: Colours Of Time

Synopsis

Director Cedric Klapisch (The Spanish Apartment trilogy) has crafted a genuine crowd-pleaser that blends the excitement, wonder and art of Belle Epoque France with present day themes around identity, legacy and connection.

In 1895, young Adele (Suzanne Lindon) leaves Normandy for Paris, a city alive and buzzing with invention, photography and the rise of Impressionism. In the present day, her descendants inherit an unexpected legacy : a country house in Normandy, abandoned for decades and suspended in time. Four of Adele’s descendants arrive to survey the Estate, and together end up piecing together the story of Adele’s unexpected life.

COLOURS OF TIME is a charming and fascinating family saga, and is sure to be a hit at this year’s Festival.
