The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “When Fall Is Coming” showing April 18-24 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

After a tumultuous life in Paris, Michelle (Hélène Vincent) has retired to a quiet existence in Burgundy, tending her garden and attending services at her parish. The voracious hostility of her adult daughter Valérie (Ludivine Sagnier) remains Michelle’s great puzzlement: how can a child for whom she sacrificed so much treat her with such contempt and suspicion?

When Valérie drops off her son for a week with his grandmother, Michelle sees an opportunity to repair the relationship, but a culinary accident soon undercuts whatever trust remains. With the help of her best friend Marie-Claude (Josiane Balasko), whose son (Pierre Lottin) has recently been released from prison, Michelle plots a path towards restoring the family life so long denied her.

With a deceptively placid surface, master stylist François Ozon cooks up a twisty and destabilizing thriller where family ties remain the most mysterious ingredient of all.

“When Fall Is Coming” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre April 18-24. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday, April 18, 19, 22 and 24 at 6:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Monday and Wednesday, April 20, 21 and 23 at 3:30 p.m.
