The Circle

In 1960s Paris, a young woman, Annie, finds herself drawn into a complex web of relationships and existential questions. Caught between her bourgeois background and the intellectual and artistic ferment of the era, she navigates love, desire, and her own identity. Her journey becomes a search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
