Myriam (Leila Bekhti) and Paul (Antoine Reinartz), are your typical pair of bourgeois Parisian parents of two young children, toddler Adam, and 5-year-old Mila, who are taking up all of Myriam's time. When Myriam decides to go back to work despite her husband's initial reluctance, the couple starts looking for a nanny. After a very selective process, they finally find the perfect candidate, Louise, a poised 40-year old woman who is an instant hit with both kids and parents. The couple soon learns, however, that appearances can be deceiving. <p> Adapted from the eponymous novel by Leila Slimani, winner of the Goncourt prize and based on a true story that took place in Manhattan in 2012, THE PERFECT NANNY propelled by actress Karin Viard, who masterfully embodies the role of a disturbed nanny whose mask of perfection gradually cracks to reveal something far darker underneath.
