Jumbo

A shy and socially awkward young woman, Jeanne (Noémie Merlant) is happiest when working alone through the nights at her neighbourhood amusement park. Her home life is difficult, her caring but intensely extroverted mom (Emmanuelle Bercot) frequently making her feel judged and pried at in even the most casual conversations. Jeanne is under enormous pressure to get a boyfriend, if only to make her mother stop asking questions. One night, she goes to work and encounters the park's just-delivered new flagship attraction, a towering, colourfully lit ride named Jumbo. Jeanne is overwhelmed. Moved beyond words, heart racing, her outlook on life shifting in a transformative rapturous instant. To her complete shock, Jeanne is in love. Deeply. Unshakeably.
