Anne-Marie Miéville’s MON CHER SUJET follows three generations of women: Angèle is 20, Agnès is 40 and Odile is 60 years old. They are daughter, mother and grandmother. We follow them alternately, while they meet each other and the men in their lives. Odile has reached an age where she feels more and more loneliness. She tries to find a connection to her daughter and her granddaughter. Angèle wants to live life to the fullest. Agnès has trouble settling down and hesitates between two men, the playful François and the more serious Hans.

Anne-Marie Miéville worked as a photographer when she met Jean-Luc Godard in Paris of 1970 and this would mean the start of a very productive collaboration. But Miéville was anything but Jean-Luc Godard’s quiet companion. With her work as a very important multimedia artist, filmmaker, editor, writer and photographer, she created one of the most productive and lasting oeuvres withing the film world.
