Film Screening: Custody

Catch Xavier Legrand’s debut movie Custody (“Jusqu’à la garde”), which won accolades at the Venice Film Festival in 2017.

Miriam and Antoine Besson have divorced, and Miriam is seeking sole custody of their son Julien to protect him from a father she claims is violent while Antoine pleads his case as a scorned dad. A hostage to the escalating conflict between his parents, Julien is pushed to the edge to prevent the worst from happening.

The film will be followed by a panel discussion on gender-based violence and divorce law in Singapore.
