Watch Annie Ernaux, je suis née quelque part (2024) Official Trailer

A woman who has become part of literary heritage, the only French writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in 2022, she has made her life the basis for her work since the publication of her first novel in 1974... What can be said that her books haven't already said? On the occasion of her grand return to her hometown in Normandy, as she explores the places of her early childhood, this icon of several generations looks back on her youth and what made her the committed woman and writer she has become. Through a geographical and narrative journey covering her first 25 years, which resonated throughout the following 60 years, the film—the only one she has agreed to participate in since winning the Nobel Prize—offers a "different" portrait of Annie Ernaux, interweaving her personal memories, her writings, and the history of the 20th century.
