The Institut français in Madrid hosts the preview of 15 Tests of Love, a contemporary romantic comedy that explores relationships, motherhood and second chances with sensitivity and humour, within the programming of France is on screen. The screening will also be attended by actress Ella Rumpf, the main protagonist of the film.

15 Proofs of Love follows the story of Céline, who is expecting her first child with her wife Nadia, who will give birth in just three months. As she tries to find her place within the family and confront the legal and social obstacles that call into question her legitimacy as a mother, Céline embarks on an intimate journey marked by doubts, emotional bonds and a deep desire to build a family.

The film is the first feature film by French director Alice Douard, an emerging filmmaker renowned for her delicate short films that have won awards at international festivals. With a young ensemble cast led by Ella Rumpf, Douard builds a generational story where each “test” puts in tension the emotional commitments and fragility of modern relationships, combining lightness, introspection and emotion.

Premiered in the Critics’ Week of the Cannes Film Festival and awarded at the Gijón Festival, 15 Proofs of Love is presented as one of the most outstanding proposals of new French cinema before its arrival in theaters on June 19.

The screening is part of the fifth edition of France is on Screen, an already consolidated event in Madrid that brings the public closer to some of the most relevant premieres and talents of contemporary French cinema.
