Synopsis
The Adopted (Les adoptés, 2011) is a French drama you can watch online on iFILM. Mélanie Laurent directed the film, wrote the script, and plays the lead — her debut feature in all three roles at once. The story centers on three women: free-spirited mother Millie and her two daughters, Lisa and Marine.
Lisa is raising her young son Leo alone; she's long stopped expecting anything from love or her career. Marine is the constant in her life. When Marine falls for Alex and disappears into that relationship, the closeness between the sisters turns painful. Then an accident forces all of them — including Millie — to work out what they actually mean to each other.
Laurent directs with restraint, and the film's ending earns its weight precisely because of that. Stream The Adopted (2011) online on iFILM.
