Writer/director Stéphane Demoustier's THE GIRL WITH A BRACELET begins as a teen coming-of-age drama before a sudden act of violence transforms it into a razor-sharp juridicial mystery with echoes of Camus, Simenon, and Henri-Georges Cluzot.
"Retains many of the merits of its source, similarly building an old-fashioned did-she-or-didn’t-she mystery… into a more probing, ambiguity-laced psychological profile.” —Variety

Her mother Lore—who played the lead in The Ties That Bind (1984), a film about her experiences growing up in Germany during the Second World War—plays the lead again, this time kicking and protesting against being moved at the age of 94 from her home in Chicago to an “independent living” facility in New York. Friedrich and her two siblings fill out the supporting roles, cajoling, comforting, and freaking out. More info: http://icarusfilms.com/if-feel
