Cannes Film Festival 2026
Born at the beginning of the 20th century in a village butcher’s shop, Jeanne Lavaur dreams of becoming a countess. Inspired by the fearless Céleste and guided by her love for Guillaume de Barante, she sets out on a journey that takes her from the lively Paris of the 1920s through two world wars. As she faces the major changes of the century, Jeanne grows into an independent and strong-willed woman who refuses to let others decide how she should live her life.
