The Ties That Bind Us

A young single father trying to find the strength to love. A feminist librarian neighbor, single by conviction, who’s decided that she doesn’t want to be a mother. A six-year-old child, trying to find a place in a new family structure. THE TIES THAT BIND US knows how absences are the hidden heart of every family – blood, step, or chosen – and how taking care of each other is the only thing that matters. Director Carine Tardieu examines how tragedy can spark new ideas of what’s possible in life.
