DNA

DNA (ADN, 2020) is a French drama from Maïwenn you can watch online on iFILM, with the director herself playing Neige, a woman who has just lost her beloved grandfather.

Her Algerian grandfather once shielded her from a difficult home life, and his death knocks her off balance. As the extended family gathers around the funeral, shared grief curdles into old resentments, jealousy and score-settling. The loss pushes Neige to dig into her own roots; she starts reconnecting with Algeria, her grandfather's homeland, and asking herself what she's actually made of.

Maïwenn wrote, directed and stars, drawing on her own life, with Fanny Ardant and Louis Garrel alongside her. It's a quiet, personal film about mourning and identity rather than big plot turns. It will land for anyone who likes French family dramas with an autobiographical streak. Stream DNA (2020) online on iFILM.
