PREMISE
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Switzerland’s Valais region. The film follows Jule (Ophélia Kolb), an eccentric and defiant single mother of three who’s had enough of playing by society’s rules. Crushed by past mistakes and disillusioned by a social welfare system that offers little compassion—or second chances—Jule fights to prove, both to her children and to herself, that she’s still a good person. As she navigates the line between resilience and self-deception, her journey becomes a powerful exploration of love. Dignity and the fierce determination to hold her family together against all odds.
In her poignant debut feature, director Jasmin Gordon delivers a nuanced portrait of a woman rarely seen on screen. Flawed, loving, and fiercely human. While shedding light on the invisible struggles of the working poor and the quiet pressures of societal expectation.
Certificate 12A & Running Time 80 Minutes
The Courageous is released in UK & Irish cinemas on 5th September.
