Un Beau dimanche / Going Away (2013)

By Nicole Garcia with Louise Bourgoin, Pierre Rochefort.
In French with English subtitles.

Baptiste is a gifted teacher living in the south of France who never remains in the same job for more than a term. When he is left in charge of Mathias one weekend by the child's negligent father, the boy takes Baptiste to his mother Sandra, a dazzling but fragile woman who works on the beach near Montpellier. For one enchanted day, a powerful spell unites them. But it won't last. Sandra owes money and her creditors are moving in. To help her, Baptiste must return to the roots of his life, and to the darkest, most painful secrets within him.

An insightful psychological drama.
