One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
Miriam and Antoine Besson have divorced, and Miriam is seeking sole custody of their son Julien to protect him from a father she claims is violent. Antoine pleads his case as a scorned dad whose children have been turned against him by their vindictive mother. Unsure who is telling the truth, the appointed judge rules in favor of joint custody. A hostage to the escalating conflict between his parents, Julien is pushed to the edge to prevent the worst from happening.
"A French film highly praised by international critics, especially for being a sort of dramatic thriller that starts from a very common point in today's society: the separation and guardianship of children. It is an excellent start behind the cameras for Xavier Legrand, who, before 'Custody', had only acted as director in a short film."
