Nathalie Granger

It is about two women and their largely absent little girls – one of whom is Nathalie Granger – in a country house. Audible are radio reports about a policeman hunt for two young murderers and kidnappers in the area. The pressure of the school system on Nathalie, the murder the young men committed in the area, and the threat of deportation facing Nathalie's Portuguese mother all form an invisible outside world, which is not shown or expressed, but which determines the events in the house. Societal violence is not shown; it is nonetheless omnipresent.

This film touches on the many aspects of filmmaking as art and Duras's complex relationship to it.
