Éperdument est un film dramatique français réalisé par Pierre Godeau et sorti en 2016. Il s'agit de l'adaptation du livre autobiographique de Florent Gonçalves, Défense d'aimer, sorti en 2012.
Synopsis
Jean mène une vie tout ce qu'il y a de plus correcte, avec une famille et un travail respectable, celui de directeur de la prison pour femmes de Versailles. Seulement, à partir du jour où il se penche sur le dossier d'Anna, incarcérée sous sa garde, tout change. Ils tombent éperdument amoureux, et vivent une histoire d'amour intense mais aussi impossible. Inspiré d'une histoire vraie (racontée par Florent Gonçalves dans son livre), ce film met en parallèle leur emprisonnement respectif : celui de Jean, psychologique, et celui d'Anna, plus matériel.Actors

Adèle is an introverted 15-year-old high-school student whose classmates gossip constantly about boys. While crossing the street one day, she passes by a woman with short blue hair and is instantly attracted. She dates a boy at her school for a short while and they have sex, but she is ultimately dissatisfied and breaks off their relationship. After having vivid fantasies about the woman she saw on the street and having one of her female friends behave flirtatiously towards her, she becomes troubled about her sexual identity. One friend, the openly gay Valentin, seems to understand her confusion and takes her to a gay dance bar. After some time, Adèle leaves and walks into a lesbian bar, where she experiences assertive advances from some of the women. The blue haired woman is also there and intervenes, claiming Adèle is her cousin to those pursuing Adèle. The woman is Emma, a graduating art student. They become friends and begin to spend more time with each other. Adèle's friends suspect her of being a lesbian and ostracise her at school. Despite the backlash, she becomes very close to Emma. Their bond increases and before long, the two share a kiss at a picnic. They later have sex and begin a passionate relationship. Emma's artsy family is very welcoming to the couple, but Adèle tells her conservative, working-class parents that Emma is just a tutor for philosophy class.
