The Braid (French: La Tresse) is a 2023 melodramatic film directed by Laetitia Colombani based on her 2017 novel of the same name.

[10] Young mother Susmita lives in India and dreams of giving her little daughter an education, but her husband does not want to change anything.

A talented lawyer from Canada, Sarah, is about to receive a long-awaited promotion, but a serious diagnosis interferes with her plans.

In particular, Augustin Pietron-Locatelli, in Télérama, notes an absence of staging and an abuse of clichés, “dripping” music for a film which parallels stories which are not comparable.

Film critic of Kommersant publication Yulia Shagelman considered the film "Sarah’s line was the most elaborate and reliable, but for some reason it’s not very easy to be touched by how an Indian beggar, without knowing it, helped a woman with money and access to modern free (after all, we’re talking about Canada) healthcare".
