What happens

Homecoming (French: Le Retour) is a 2023 French drama film co-written and directed by Catherine Corsini. It is a family drama about a woman who returns to Corsica with her two teenage daughters for the summer, starring Aïssatou Diallo Sagna, Suzy Bemba and Esther Gohourou. The film had its world premiere in the main competition of the 76th Cannes Film Festival on 17 May 2023, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or. It was theatrically released in France on 12 July 2023 by Le Pacte.
