Adèle grows, seeks herself, loses herself, and ultimately finds herself through the love and loss of her relationship with Emma.

The director wanted the scenes to be as close to reality as possible. To achieve this, the actresses had to play and replay certain sequences countless times, in front of a hand-held camera. Restoration, stabilization and erasures have thus allowed to fluidify the images. This is the case, for example, in the scene of the violent fight between the two young girls.
Finally, weather corrections allowed the film to obtain the accuracy desired by Abdellatif Kechiche.
