Set in Marseilles we follow the lives of several, often lonely, characters as they attempt to negotiate the drama of their own existence within the city. Central to the story, or perhaps most mesmerising, is Michele, a woman desperately trying to understand and accommodate her rebellious daughter. "La Ville est Tranquille" is a deeply moving drama from the director of 'A la Place du Coeur'; A masterful observation of the intricacies of human emotion.
