Margherita's Theorem by French director Novion is in theaters after Cannes. The film shows a nerdy girl obsessed with solving Goldbach's theorem.
A small error in the theorem causes her self-esteem and will to collapse. But in this new existence at a certain point mathematics also returns, this time accompanied by love.. The world of mathematics has been little represented in films, just as a mathematical heroine has been even less so, says director Anna Novion, who won the award for best debut actress.
