To spy on her lover Ludo, a photographer many years her junior, Claire (Juliet Binoche), a fifty-year-old university professor and single mother of two teenagers, creates a fake profile on social media where she masquerades as Clara, a beautiful twenty four-year-old. She begins an online relationship with Ludo’s assistant, Alex (François Civil), and as their flirtations intensify, she increasingly succumbs to the allure of this parallel world, titillated by the opportunity to be ‘young again’. Framed through conversations with her therapist, Claire’s deceptions lead her towards dangerous territory.

Director’s Note: Adapted from Camille Laurens’s novel, this vertiginous drama, featuring a disquieting and alluring Juliette Binoche, offers more than one twist.
