Head nurse Lucy (Léa Drucker) takes care of four-year-old Adam during her night shift. Following a ruling by the juvenile court, he has been admitted to the hospital due to malnutrition. His mother Rebecca (Anamaria Vartolomei) is only allowed to see her son during visiting hours, but Lucy decides to make an exception despite the strict rules. When the exhausted and distraught Rebecca refuses to leave Adam alone, Lucy is faced with a difficult choice. The pressure from the system increases, and Lucy follows her own compass. She tries to stretch the rules as far as possible to support both Adam and his mother.

Zoom in

In ‘L’Intérêt d’Adam’, Belgian director Laura Wandel keeps the pressure high.

★★★★ De Volkskrant

Laura Wandel's second feature film (Un Monde) was produced by Les Films du Fleuve, owned by the Dardenne brothers. The French-language Belgian social drama opened the Semaine de la Critique in Cannes. The powerful yet vulnerable performances of the lead actors Léa Drucker (Close, Jusqu'à la garde, l'Homme de sa vie) and Anamaria Vartolomei (Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, Mickey 17, L'Événement), combined with handheld camera work and sequence shots, emphasize the frantic pace of the care staff's work. Every breath and movement is captured. The hierarchical relationships in both the hospital and within youth protection are exposed, inviting dialogue about how these relationships influence decision-making and cooperation.
