3 Days in Quiberon

In 1981, one year before her death, famous actress Romy Schneider retreats to a spa hotel in the town of Quiberon, Brittany. Visited by her close friend Hilde, who has come to offer the support she needs to fight her own demons. But it is more than just the reunion of two old friends. When two journalists from on of the most prominent magazine, the STERN arrive to conduct an interview, Hilde tries to shield her friend from their invasive interrogation tactics. For three days and nights, the interaction between the quartet ranges from sensitivity to brutal manipulation, an emotional roller coaster ride, by the end of which Romy seems more vulnerable than ever. Yet perhaps she has rediscovered her zest for life and the inner strength to carry on.

"Germany never took Austrian screen queen Romy Schneider to heart during the adult phase of her career, and the entire nation seems to have been atoning for this cruel oversight ever since. For her fifth feature 3 Days in Quiberon, the Berlin-born, French-Iranian-American writer-director Emily Atef channels this collective guilt into a good-looking chamber drama based around a revelatory interview that Schneider gave to Stern magazine at a French health-spa hotel in 1981. It was one of her final media profiles, and one of her most emotionally raw. Just over a year later, she was found dead in her Paris apartment, killed by cardiac arrest at just 43." ~ THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
