God's Offices
Les bureaux de Dieu
2008
Synopsis
In a self-help center for family planning, female teenagers and women of all ages and from different sections of society are looking for help. Five counselors speak to these women batting with difficult decisions around contraception, virginity, abortion, and the taboo of sexuality within families.
Editorial
Cast alongside a starry cohort of French actresses, Béatrice Dalle shows a softer side to her screen image in Claire Simon’s tender drama about family planning. Structured around the safe space of consultation sessions, God’s Offices foregrounds the unseen interpersonal dimensions of social work.
