Colours of Time

Plot

When four distant cousins inherit a 19th-century home in Normandy, they decide to visit and examine their family history. No one has lived there since the 1940s, and the cousins are intrigued by all of the items they find there, little things that help them to understand their ancestor, Adèle Vermillard. Jumping back and forth in time, they meet the mysterious Adèle, whose bohemian lifestyle, and her relationships with the leading artists of the time, changes their lives.

About Colours of Time

Colours of Time (French: La Venue de l'avenir, lit. 'The Arrival of the Future') is a 2025 period drama film co-written and directed by Cédric Klapisch. Starring Suzanne Lindon, Abraham Wapler, Vincent Macaigne, Julia Piaton, Zinedine Soualem and Paul Kircher, it follows four cousins who inherit a house in rural Normandy and retrace the steps of their ancestors in 19th-century Paris. The film is a co-production between France and Belgium. According to Klapisch, the film is "about the importance of the past. We can’t move forward if we don’t have a look at the past. The two stories we tell in this film concern people who do retrospective work. Adèle sets out to open out who her parents were. The four cousins want to know who their ancestors were". The film had its world premiere at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on 22 May 2025, and was theatrically released in France on the same day by StudioCanal.
