L’intérêt d’Adam

After a court ruling, the malnourished Adam is admitted to the hospital, and his mother Rebecca is allowed only limited visits. Nurse Lucy tries, despite the strict court rules, to keep Rebecca and Adam together. What follows is an intense night in which Lucy faces difficult moral choices.

L’Intérêt d’Adam is a gripping film brimming with urgency. The camera stays close to the characters, heightening the sense of suffocation. With powerful yet vulnerable performances from lead actors Léa Drucker and Anamaria Vartolomei, and filmed in long handheld takes, the film emphasizes the frantic pace of the healthcare staff.
