Based in Brussels, the sales representative Be For Films has obtained the international distribution rights for the film “Love Me Tender,” directed by Anna Cazenave Cambet as her second feature. This film, starring Vicky Krieps, will be shown in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

In Constance Debré’s novel, the movie tells the story of Clemence (Krieps), who faces a life-altering situation when her ex-husband seeks to take away custody of their son after she discloses her romantic relationships with women. The film follows her struggle, spanning several years, to fight for her right to be both a mother and a woman with the freedom to make personal choices of her own.

The main actors are Antoine Reinartz, Monia Chokri, Vigo Ferrera-Redier, Aurélia Petit, Ji-min Park, Salif Cissé, and Krieps. The film’s team behind the scenes includes cinematographer Kristy Baboul, composer Maxence Dussere, editor Joris Laquittant, sound designer Marlette Mathieu-Goudier, casting director Youna de Peretti, and costume designer Vanessa Deutsch.
