Eva & Leon (French title: L'Echappée Belle) is a 2015 French drama film written and directed by Émilie Cherpitel. The movie was a submission to the 82nd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.

Plot

The movie is about a privileged woman and an orphaned boy who become friends.

Leon and his older brother, Arnaud, were abandoned in a park in Lyon.

They are seen as outcasts by a social worker, who considers both the brothers mentally ill and the only solution is sending them to a children’s home.

With the help of two teachers, Leon and Arnaud are put in an English-language school run by a kind but rough-around-the-edges teacher called Isabelle (Nicole Delecroix).
