Le Cahier noir

When her employer is suddenly struck with a fatal illness, Laura (Lou de Laâge) and little Sebastian are taken in by his old friend, the Marquise Lusault (Niels Schneider). Laura and her new benefactor become lovers until Lusault decides to marry a woman of his rank. This move will ultimately separate Laura from Sebastian, setting each on a path that will take them to Rome, Paris, Lisbon, and London, and yield revelations regarding their lineage, radical shifts in social standing, and fateful transactions with figures of power and influence.
