You can watch Amanda (2018) for free on Kanopy.

David, who gets by doing odd jobs, meets Léna, who has just moved up to Paris, and falls in love. But soon after, his life is brutally interrupted by the sudden death of his sister. Beyond the shock, and the pain, David now finds himself alone with his young niece Amanda to care for.

Parisian streets feel both vast and claustrophobic as a young man’s budding romance dissolves into the heavy, sudden responsibility of single parenthood. This quiet character study finds profound beauty in the messy, unglamorous struggle of raising a child amidst profound grief.
