Leaving is a very good movie. Sarah (Kristin Scott Thomas) is married to a doctor and the mother of two teenagers living in Southern France. She decides to return to work as a physical therapist. Her husband, Samuel, hires a contractor to renovate a building on the premises to be her office. One day, Ivan, a Spanish handyman begins laying the tile and strikes up a conversation with Suzanne. One thing leads to another and Suzanne and Ivan have an affair. Suzanne, guilt ridden, confesses to Samuel. Samuel is very hurt but insists that there will be no divorce. Suzanne leaves Samuel and lives with Ivan. Suzanne and Ivan face financial hardship, Samuel has cut Suzanne off without a penny. Ivan is an ex-con and works hard for little pay. With their backs up against the wall, Suzanne decides to take action which places their happiness in danger. This is a well acted movie and the plot moves along at a good pace. I highly recommend this movie.
French with English subtitles.
