A gifted primary teacher living in the south of France who never remains in the same job for more than a term. His unremarkable appearance masks cracks, even violence. When he is left unwittingly in charge of Mathias one weekend by the child’s negligent father, the boy takes Baptiste to his mother Sandra (Louise Bourgoin), a dazzling but fragile woman who works on the beach near Montpellier. An erratic parent who longs to make amends, she welcomes Baptiste and her son into her bungalow. For one enchanted day, a powerful spell unites them. But it doesn’t last. Sandra owes money and her creditors are moving in. She is forced to flee again. To help her, Baptiste must return to the roots of his life, and to the darkest, most painful secrets within him.

Garcia, co-scenarist Jacques Fieschi and the excellent cast (including a welcome Dominique Sanda as Baptiste’s regal mother) bring a sense of depth and shared history to even those figures we meet just briefly. Read full review

Despite its late shortcomings, Going Away demonstrates Garcia’s ability to coax strong performances out of a relatively young cast. Read full review

Going Away doesn't make a compatible story, but in every small detail that it does good, it just doesn't make a big detail anyways so why watch something that doesn't even make a big detail, right?
