Winner Silver Bear for Best Director, 66th Berlin International Film Festival

Starring Isabelle Huppert, André Marcon

Films We Like is pleased to present Mia Hansen-Løve’s new film THINGS TO COME at the Toronto International Film Festival as a Special Presentation.

After the success of the EDM inspired EDEN, Hansen-Løve returns to TIFF 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. Married with two children, she divides her time between her family, former students and her very possessive mother. 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.

Things To Come (L’avenir) will open in theatres in Canada, December 2016.
