During promotion for "Eden", Hansen-Løve announced that her next film, "Things to Come" ("L'Avenir"), would star Isabelle Huppert as a philosophy teacher whose seemingly perfect life begins to fall apart when her husband leaves her and her children move away from home. Hansen-Løve cited Eric Rohmer's "The Green Ray" as the "one film [she] couldn't help thinking of when writing "Things to Come"" because of the similarities between the film's themes and their central female characters. The film was completed in 2016 and premiered in competition at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, where Hansen-Løve won the Silver Bear for Best Director.
