Monia Chokri and Ella Rumpf on Love Letters ('Des preuves d'amour')

INTERVIEW - Céline is about to become a mother, but it’s her wife Nadia who is pregnant. In Love Letters ('Des preuves d'amour'), Alice Douard follows this non-gestational mother as she searches for her place under the gaze of friends, family, and the law, questioning what makes someone a “real” parent. After premiering earlier this year at Cannes in Critics’ Week, the film is arriving in German cinemas on December 4. In our interview, Monia Chokri and Ella Rumpf talk about bringing Céline and Nadia to life on screen, building a believable couple navigating queer parenthood, and how they balanced humour, vulnerability, and conflict in this story of love, doubt, and recognition. Love Letters is also part of the Tomorrow in Sight label, highlighting new narratives in French cinema around gender, LGBTQIA+ stories and changing family models. Tomorrow in Sight is a label created by Unifrance and the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs (@francediplo).It is supported by patrons of the Unifrance Endowment Fund: @accor (Great Patron), @bnpparibas (Patron) & Vranken-Pommery Monopole (Patron)
