Borrowing its title from Buñuel's 1930 film about modern society, Tuen ambitiously interweaves archival, documentary and live-action cinematography to weave a 'long century' through the life story of an ambitious woman. Dubbed the French answer to The Brutalist (2024), this hybrid film was screened with success in the Classics section of the Cannes Film Festival.

Jeanne Laver was born in a troubled era - this does not prevent her from ardent desire to become a countess. The girl comes from a butcher's family in the province of France - her weapons are wisdom, perseverance and incalculable luck. As a result of an accident, she meets the high-born Guillaume, with whom a union is formed - she becomes what she wanted to be. True, this is just the beginning. A woman's love, longing and changing path will not only shape her life, but will also serve as a manuscript for almost the entire 20th century.

The film is in French with subtitles in Latvian and English.
