received the 2017 César for Best Short Film)!

Cinema Dramatic at the 2020 Sundance International Film Festival & the
Special Jury Mention at the 2020 Berlin International Film

able to present *Sibyl* for you to watch from the comfort of your home, and
to invite you to a *transatlantic Zoom Q&A with its director, one of French

*SYNOPSIS & TRAILER*
[image: Sybil]
Adèle Exarchopoulos in *Sibyl* by Justine Triet
Sibyl (the versatile Virginie Efira, *Sink or Swim* - MiniFest 2019 & *An
Impossible Love* - SFFF 2019) a jaded psychotherapist, wants to return to
her first passion: writing. She finds her inspiration in her newest patient
Margot (Adèle Exarchopoulos, *Blue is the Warmest Color*), a troubled
up-and-coming actress who just landed a breakthrough role and is pregnant
with her co-star (Gaspard Ulliel), himself in a relationship with the
director of the film (Sandra Hüller, *Tony Erdmann*)... Breaking all the
rules, Sibyl secretly starts recording their sessions and soon becomes much
too involved in Margot’s tumultuous life, reviving volatile memories that
bring her face to face with her own troubled past. When Margot implores
Sibyl to join her in Stromboli for the end of the shoot, everything
accelerates at a dizzying pace... * TRAILER*
