Lucie Borleteau makes her feature directing debut with this insightful study of a woman situated in an almost exclusively male milieu. Sailor Alice (Ariane Labed) joins the freighter Fidelio as a replacement engineer, soon discovering that the captain, Gael (Melvil Poupaud), is a man with whom she was once romantically involved. Though she leaves behind a fiance on land (Anders Danielsen Lie), she finds her feelings for Gael have not abated. Buttressed by a remarkable international cast, Fidelio, Alice's Odyssey presents a rounded portrait of a passionate woman faced with difficult choices. Greek actress Labed won Best Actress at Locarno for her memorable performance. Nominated for two Cesar Awards including Best Debut Feature.
