Plot
Meet Suzanne, portrayed by Dame Kristin Scott Thomas, a well-off woman nestled in the affluent folds of southern France's bourgeoisie. As a wife and mother, she finds herself restless within the confines of her gilded cage, yearning for a purpose beyond the idle luxury of her existence. In a quest for fulfillment, she decides to resurrect her dormant career as a physiotherapist, a decision met with support from her husband who agrees to construct a consulting room in their lush backyard.
However, the tranquility of their life takes a seismic shift when the man hired to build the consulting room steps into the picture. Their meeting sparks an immediate and intense attraction, a blaze that quickly engulfs Suzanne's orderly world. This isn't just a fleeting infatuation but a passion so profound that it threatens to consume everything in its path.
Suzanne is then faced with a life-altering choice: to uphold the status quo or to surrender to a turbulent love that promises as much destruction as it does exhilaration. 'Leaving' is a compelling tale of a woman's defiance against societal norms, a leap into the unknown, and the intoxicating allure of an all-consuming passion, painting a vivid portrait of desire and its devastating consequences.
