All is Forgiven

Pamela grows up in Austria, with her mother Anette and her father Victor, a French writer with a growing drug use problem. Her parents struggle with their relationship. They do not even speak to each other in the same language - she is Austrian, he is French. Victor's drug abuse is in full swing when Anette takes her daughter with her and moves to Paris. Eleven years later, Pamela, now a young woman, decides to contact her father again, against her mother's wishes.

All Is Forgiven is a Mia Hansen-Løve's ambitious feature film debut, which immediately attracted attention and was selected as part of the Directors' Fortnight at Cannes in 2007. The film is a testimony to the director's mature tackling of topics that still traverse her filmography: family relationships, the persistence of memories and the effects of time, and the possibility of love with and despite trauma.
