In a delicate balance between ritual and loss, Claire Denis follows the father\u2019s realization that he must let his daughter spread her wings.<\/p>\n

Nous (We)<\/strong><\/a>
Nous<\/em>\u00a0takes us on a journey along the\u00a0RER B train line that runs from Charles de Gaulle airport to the north of Paris to the capital\u2019s southern suburbs.
