'Plus que jamais’s power is understated and controlled. It’s a film about life despite death, and a woman desperate to control her fate.'

The Hollywood Reporter

    Moving drama from Emily Atef starring Vicky Krieps (Corsage) as a young woman with an untreatable lung condition who wants to spend the time she has left on her own terms.

    For years, 33-year-old Hélène has lived happily with her husband Mathieu in Bordeaux. Their life is turned upside down when Hélène is diagnosed with a rare lung disease. Mathieu is convinced that a lung transplant can turn the tide, but Hélène soon gives up hope of a cure and increasingly turns in on herself. When she discovers the humorous blog of a Norwegian man with cancer, she travels headlong to Norway to meet him.

    Plus que jamais takes the viewer on an intensely emotional journey, which is also visually impressive thanks to the beautiful panoramas of the Norwegian landscape. With rising star Vicky Krieps and Gaspard Ulliel in his penultimate film. In January of this year, the actor died in a skiing accident.
