After the success of the EDM inspired Eden, Hansen-Løve returns to the screen with another moving portrait of life at a cross roads in the award-winning Things to Come (L’avenir).
Nathalie (Isabelle Huppert) teaches philosophy at a high school in Paris. Life is good. She is passionate about her job and particularly enjoys passing on the pleasure of thinking.

One day her husband abruptly announces he is leaving her for another woman, and her mother passes away. With freedom thrust upon her, Nathalie must reinvent her life.
