Christine Angot is one of the most prominent voices in contemporary French literature, with over 20 published books, acclaimed plays, and numerous literary awards to her name. She has also co-written two screenplays with renowned filmmaker Claire Denis. In A Family, Angot turns to documentary filmmaking for the first time, bringing a deeply personal story to the screen. While promoting her latest book in Strasbourg—the city where her father once lived—she confronts painful memories of his sexual abuse, which she has spoken about publicly. Her return prompts her to visit the home where his wife still lives, in search of an answer to a question that has haunted her for years: why did no one stand by her when she came forward with the truth?
