Writer-director Stuart Howes's beautiful and poignant debut film tells a nuanced story about the complexity of our most basic relationships. After having an affair, a mother tries to win back the respect of her oldest daughter, Nicole, while keeping the truth a secret from Nicole's younger sister, Lou. Despite their best efforts to maintain the picture perfect facade of their family life, the cracks begin to show. While confronting notions of love and loss, Nicole struggles to navigate a promising photography career, a new romance, and her family life during her senior year of college. Evoking the bittersweet delight of the French New Wave and powered by a pitch-perfect score, Tableau is an earnest and moving look at the strain of growing up.
