Frequently asked questions

What is Saint Omer about? Toggle content

In the coastal town of Saint-Omer, a young woman named Laurence Coly stands trial for the murder of her 15-month-old daughter. Rama, a literature professor and novelist, attends the trial seeking inspiration for a modern retelling of the ancient Medea myth. As she delves deeper into Coly's life and hears testimonies from witnesses, Rama's convictions begin to waver. The film explores themes of isolation, identity, and motherhood as Rama grapples with her own personal demons and the harsh realities of Coly's situation. With powerful performances from Kayije Kagame and Guslagie Malanda, Saint Omer is a thought-provoking drama that will leave audiences questioning their own judgments and empathizing with its complex characters.
