Summary
- Film 'Her Song' to premiere at Cinequest on March 10.
- Kalki Koechlin stars in her first French and English role.
- Drama explores memory, connection, and inner songs.
"Her Song," a French comedy-drama executive produced by Oscar winner James Ivory, is set to premiere globally at Cinequest on March 10 in San Jose, California. This marks a significant role for Indian cinema star Kalki Koechlin, who appears in her first French and American-accented English speaking performance.
The film unfolds in a secluded village in the French Pyrenees. It centers on Olivia, an American writer seeking inspiration for her novel by returning to her family's ancestral home. This location holds memories of her grandmother's wartime flight from Paris.
In the village, Olivia encounters Madeline, a talented local woman whose spirit and ingenuity remind Olivia of her grandmother. As Olivia weaves details of Madeline's life into her fiction, the narrative intertwines her grandmother's past, Olivia's novel, and her present-day experiences.
A central theme is the discovery, through Olivia's bond with Madeline, that each person possesses a unique inner song. This concept is inspired by a fictional story about a Namibian tribal tradition. The film promises an intimate and profound exploration of curiosity, memory, and human connection.
