Laurence Anyways

DramaRomance168 min

In 1990s Canada, Laurence is a French teacher and emerging author whose life with his fiancée changes when he tells her he intends to live openly as a woman. Melvil Poupaud is Laurence, and Suzanne Clément’s Fred is asked to stand beside the person she loves as family, work, and public scrutiny begin to close in. What starts as a deeply intimate confession turns their relationship into the film’s central question: how far love can stretch when one partner’s transition reshapes nearly every part of their shared life.
