We Believe You / On Vous Croit

Today, Alice stands before a judge, knowing there's no room for error. She must speak up for her children and confront their father, as custody is being called into question. Can she make their voices heard and protect them before it's too late?

"We believe you" are the words that Alice and her children are dying to hear, in the soulless courtroom that feels far, too far away from the reality of what their life is.

Sharp as a knife, We Believe You doesn’t lose its way into flashbacks or overly explanatory dialogue. It takes us through the court hearing in real time for nearly one hour. One hour during which the coldness of legal language attempts to coexist with the urgency of the emotions conveyed. One incredibly lively and intense hour, making this film one of the most revelatory and powerful experiences of the year.

This film is eligible for the Spirit of the Festival Award for Best Film award and Best Screenplay, and for the Lookout Award.
