- OFFICIAL SELECTION: Festival de Cannes (Director's Fortnight) -

Winner of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival SACD Best Screenplay award and opening night film of the Director’s Fortnight section, This Life of Mine is a witty and moving take on midlife crises from late director Sophie Fillières. The film follows Barberie “Barbie” Bichette (Agnès Jaoui), once a devoted mother, now struggling with the challenges of her chaotic home/work life. On the brink of her 55th birthday, Barbie must decide whether to conform to society’s dismissive view of aging women or break the mould. What follows is a funny yet poignant journey of self-discovery, as Barbie escapes to the Scottish Highlands to reclaim her identity.
