“I can create a dancer out of no one.” This single sentence, written by her former choreographer Julian Johns (Simon Pegg), drives famed Moulin Rouge performer Charlotte Levant (Sofia Boutella) to a place of deep insecurity and volatility. Traveling home to Deauville with her sister Josephine (Charlotte Gainsbourg), the siblings find themselves changed and challenged through their deepening relationships with a wealthy benefactor (Quentin Tarantino), a young couple (Lizzy McAlpine and Liam Hellmann), and Julian himself.

Shot in only six days with a mostly improvised screenplay, Tribeca alum Jamie Adams (Love Spreads, TF 2020) builds a layered portrait of longing, love and the complexity of creative collaboration. With full trust in his all-star cast and crew along with the raw beauty of the Normandy coast at his disposal, Adams transforms Only What We Carry into a stirring marvel that stays with you long after the credits roll.—Cara Cusumano
