André Téchiné`s lush drama follows a close knit group of friends who are faced with the dawn of a sexual revolution in the early 1980s. THE WITNESSES tracks the relationship of a young writer played by Emmanuelle Béart (8 WOMEN, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, STRAYED), her detective boyfriend, a reknown doctor and how their lives collide when a young, attractive gay man joins their circle. Set in Paris and the countryside, Téchiné blends the storylines and parallel lives with an erotic naturalism, yet never ignoring the consequences of sexual freedom.Directed by acclaimed French director André Téchiné (WILD REEDS, CHANGING TIMES, STRAYED) and starring Emmanuelle Béart (8 WOMEN, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, STRAYED), Michel Blanc (M. HIRE),  Sami Bouajila (DAYS OF GLORY), Julie Depardieu ( A SECRET, BLAME IT ON FIDEL, A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT), Johan Libéreau, Constance Dollé.
