The Sixth Child

The Sixth Child (Le Sixième Enfant, 2022) is a French drama by Léopold Legrand you can watch online on iFILM. Two families split by class, one quiet deal no one can admit to.

Franck scrapes a living from scrap metal, counts every euro and has a sixth baby on the way — money is already too tight for five. Julien and Anna are comfortable lawyers, and the one thing their salaries can't buy is a child of their own. When the two households cross paths, they strike an arrangement the law has no room for. Sara Giraudeau, Judith Chemla and Damien Bonnard play people cornered from opposite ends of wealth.

Legrand's first feature trades melodrama for awkward silences and held glances, letting the moral weight settle in slowly. It's a small, hushed film about how need and love push ordinary people toward the unthinkable. Stream The Sixth Child (2022) online on iFILM.
