My Zoe

Isabelle has just gotten divorced from her husband James and is going through a difficult time, as the dispute over the custody of their daughter Zoe is dragging on. As a renowned geneticist, Isabelle has always had her scientific career in mind, but her daughter is her one and only. One morning she is shocked to discover that Zoe no longer wakes up. Upon hospitalization, the helpless parents learn that the girl has suffered a cerebral haemorrhage during the night. Unable to accept the death of her daughter, Isabelle takes things into her own hands. For the seventh time, Franco-American actress Julie Delpy has taken to the director’s chair. Shifting from her familiar comedy to more serious realms, she delivers a startling family drama with a surprising twist. (Zurich Film Festival)
