Synopsis:

Mélanie Laurent teams up with her Inglourious Basterds co-star Denis Ménochet in her directorial debut. A heartfelt, hopeful, and bittersweet take on love and rebirth. Vivacious and alluring, Lisa and her adoptive sister Marine have been inseparable since they were ten years old. With Lisa's mother Millie, they have forged a deep bond that protects them from life's hard knocks. Together, the three women offer Lisa's young son, Leo, the security and affection that allow him to blossom. When one of them falls in love, however, the quirky family's balance is thrown off. Before they can make individual adjustments to prolong their collective happiness, fate throws tragedy at them and the family must realign with a new reality in order to turn loss into hope and love.

The Adopted tells the story of a family of women that life didn't spare. When one of them finds true love, everything begins to falter. The balance is to be redefined but it had not taken destiny into account, which will impose another reality on them, one dealing with the loss of the one around who everything evolves. Mélanie Laurent is impressive, taking on all the roles in The Adopted. The one of director and screenwriter, imposing a vision of her own as she deals quite carefully, with a subject far from herself, but with great accuracy while acting at the same time.
