The Party

(1980)Directed by Claude Pinoteau110 minDrama, Romance, Comedy

Thirteen-year-old Vic (Sophie Marceau) starts at a new school in Paris, where she has to find her place among classmates who already know one another. Claude Pinoteau follows her through the first weeks while her parents, François (Claude Brasseur) and Françoise (Brigitte Fossey), are quietly coming apart at home. Her great-grandmother Poupette (Denise Grey) is on her side, but a marriage and a family are at stake, and Vic is old enough to notice.
