Proxima (12A)

Eva Green gives one of her most powerful performances in a heartfelt portrait of a woman torn between professional ambition and the demands of motherhood. Astronaut Sarah Loreau (Green) is undertaking the gruelling mental and physical training required for a one-year mission aboard the International Space Station. She is the only mother in a diverse crew and, separated from her husband, Sarah is a single mother to her sensitive seven-year-old daughter Stella. As the pressures intensify and the day of launch comes closer, Sarah finds herself facing some impossible choices. Meticulously observed, Proxima offers a tender portrait of a mother-daughter relationship. GFF20
