Barbie will open this year’s Quinzaine! This Barbie, playedby Agnès Jaoui, is the protagonist of Sophie Fillières’ magnificent final film, This Life of Mine. A midlife crisis in three acts:a comedy, a tragedy and an epiphany, delivered wholeheartedly, with the breaks in tone and the high-wire dialogue thatare the hallmark of Fillières’ cinema. The filmmaker has left us a self-portrait, as exquisite as it is intimate, to which Agnès Jaoui lends body and soul.

Jessica is the leader of a group of lost boys with a violent past who now seek peace and harmony. She is the only one to have ever brought them love and understanding. They only wish to create a world where they can live in peace together, and forever.
