Synopsis:
All of a Sudden follows Marie-Lou (Virginie Efira), the impassioned director of a Paris-based elder care facility as she attempts to introduce a radical new philosophy to the instituion—one that centers listening, responding, and respecting residents’ dignity. Burnt out and struggling with resistance from her staff, a chance encounter with experimental theater director Mari (Tao Okamoto) reignites her resolve. The two women form a deep, transcendent bond over the course of a single night, and their unexpected friendship reshapes their lives in profound, mysterious ways.
