Directed by Guillaume Senez, Une part manquante is an intense and moving drama that follows Jay, played by Romain Duris, a father separated from his daughter Lily for nine years. Unable to get custody of her, he wanders the streets of Tokyo every day hoping to find her. The film, also co-written by Jean Denizot, explores themes of loss, resilience and unexpected reunion. Duris' performance, accompanied by Judith Chemla and Mei Cirne-Masuki, promises to be at the heart of this moving story.
For the past nine years, Jay has been crisscrossing Tokyo at the wheel of his cab, hoping one day to cross paths again with Lily, his estranged daughter, for whom he has never been able to obtain custody. Just as he is about to give up and return to France, disillusioned and hopeless, a miracle happens: Lily stumbles into his cab. This unexpected encounter marks the beginning of a new quest for reconciliation and the rebuilding of a bond that has been broken for too long.
A Missing Part will appeal to those who enjoy poignant family dramas and intimate tales of parent-child relationships. The film explores the emotional difficulties of separation and reunion, while offering profound reflections on parenthood, unconditional love and resilience. Fans of films such as La tête haute and Nos batailles will find similar themes here, supported by strong performances. The backdrop of Tokyo also lends the film a unique, contemplative dimension, adding an atmosphere of solitude and hope to Jay's personal quest.
With Une part manquante, Guillaume Senez delivers a powerful and moving drama about a father's quest to find his daughter and reconcile his past. Due for release on November 13, 2024, the film promises to deeply move viewers, thanks to Romain Duris ' intense performance and delicate, poetic direction.
