Director Aurélia Georges alongside actress Lyna Khoudri, César for best female hope for “Papicha”, present the film “La place d’une autre” freely inspired by “The New Magdalen”, a novel by Wilkie Collins published in 1873 .
It’s a period film, against the background of the 14 war. A young nurse who has known poverty takes on the identity of a young woman she saw die before her eyes, and thus buys herself a future. much rosier, becoming in his place the reader of a wealthy widow.
Will she be discovered, will she confess her deception? Will she be rewarded or punished? Many questions arise when watching this psychological thriller with suspense mixed with romanticism, which speaks of lies and usurpation, of morality and bad conscience, and which also raises the question of merit and social ascent.
