Stillwater

Bill Baker (Matt Damon), an oil worker in Stillwater, Oklahoma, learns that his estranged daughter Allison (Abigail Breslin), while studying for a year in Marseille, has been arrested pending trial and charged with murdering her lesbian girlfriend. He travels there to visit her in prison and discovers that she has all but exhausted her legal options. He moves permanently to France and struggles to clear her name, contending with the language barrier, cultural differences, and a complex and unfamiliar legal system based on the 1994 Code Pénal. He is aided by a French woman, Virginie (Camille Cottin), and her 8-year-old daughter. As the pressure mounts, he must decide just how far he's willing to go.
