Peccadillo Pictures has released the official UK trailer for ‘Love Me Tender,’ the acclaimed new drama from writer and director Anna Cazenave Cambet, adapted from the bestselling novel by Constance Debré.

Starring Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread, Corsage, Father Mother Sister Brother), ‘Love Me Tender’ tells a deeply affecting story of identity, love and motherhood, exploring the devastating consequences of prejudice within the family court system.

The film follows Clémence, who has carefully rebuilt her life after leaving her successful career as a lawyer to pursue writing. She maintains an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, Laurent (Antoine Reinartz), and together they share custody of their young son, Paul.

However, everything changes when Clémence falls in love with Sarah (Monia Chokri) and embraces living openly as her authentic self. In response, Laurent files for sole custody of Paul, forcing Clémence into an emotionally draining legal battle where she must prove she is a fit mother simply because of who she loves.

Adapted from Constance Debré’s acclaimed novel, ‘Love Me Tender’ is a moving and timely examination of discrimination, resilience and the fight to protect both family and identity.
