It’s 1942. Irene, a young Jewish woman with a passion for theatre, lives with her family in Paris. She pays no heed to the events unfolding across Europe; her attention is focussed on her upcoming drama school audition, romantic liaisons, and her work as a theatre usher. She exists in a reverie that renders her immune to the outside world. Meanwhile, restrictions are gradually imposed upon the Jewish community… soon, Irene’s life will change forever.
Featuring a magnificent performance from Rebecca Marder, who plays the eponymous role, and premiering at the 2021 Cannes Critics’ Week, A Radiant Girl offers a fresh and moving look at the experiences of a young woman in WWII Paris.
