One Day at the Sea(2020)

One Day at the Sea is a French drama following Agatha, who returns to the Normandy coast after years away, bringing her six-year-old son Honoré. Tense and haunted by the past, she wanders the boardwalks of Deauville while leaving the boy alone in the car, offering no explanation to his questions. At Trouville's wide beach, near the historic Hôtel des Roches Noires, she abandons him once more. Freely adapted from Marguerite Duras's play Agatha, the film captures a single day of emotional reckoning as a mother grapples with unspoken trauma and the weight of her choices. The seaside setting becomes a mirror for her internal turmoil, while the child remains caught between confusion and abandonment.
