The Truth (upcoming film)

The Truth is an upcoming French-Japanese film written and directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda. Starring Catherine Deneuve and Juliette Binoche, this will be Kore-eda's first film set outside his native Japan and not in his native language.

Fabienne is one of the great stars of French cinema. She reigns amongst men who love and admire her. However, she has a problematic relationship with her daughter Lumir, a screenwriter. When Lumir and her husband return to Paris with their young child, things come to a head with the publication of Fabienne’s memoir: the reunion between mother and daughter quickly turns confrontational as truths are told, accounts are settled and love and resentment are confessed.
