Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, the film follows Adèle who is approaching adulthood and dreams of experiencing her first love. A handsome male classmate falls hard for her, but an unsettling erotic reverie upsets the romance before it begins. Adèle imagines that the mysterious, blue-haired girl she encountered in the street slips into her bed and possesses her with overwhelming pleasure. That blue-haired girl is a confident older art student named Emma, who will soon enter Adèle's life for real, making way for an intense and complicated love story that spans a decade and is touchingly universal in its depiction. In French language with English subtitles. (2K DCP presentation)

The film contains graphic nudity and sexual situations.
