Melanie Laurent made a huge splash in Inglourious Basterds and was more recently seen in the Oscar-winning Beginners. Now shes turning director with The Adopted, which is out on DVD on April 2nd through Studiocanal, and weve got two copies to give away.
The Adopted is the story of a family of women whose lives are never easy but who, over time, manage to surmount their difficulties. Vivacious and alluring Lisa (Mélanie Laurent) and her adoptive sister Marine (Marie Denarnaud, Ma Femme est une actrice) have been inseparable since they were ten years old. With Lisas mother Millie (Clémentine Célarié, Betty Blue), they have forged a deep bond that protects them from lifes hard knocks. Together, the three women offer Lisas young son, Leo, the security and affection that allow him to blossom. When one of them falls in love, however, the quirky familys balance is thrown off. Before they can make individual adjustments to prolong their collective happiness, fate throws tragedy at them and the family must realign with a new reality in order to turn loss into hope and love.
