Director and screenwriter Sólveig Anspach was born in 1960 to an American father and an Icelandic mother, but spent most of her life living and working in France. Perhaps Sólveig's best-known film, the 1999 'Haut les Coeurs!', won a César for its lead Karin Viard. It's a quietly harrowing, deeply moving film about a woman who, while pregnant, discovers that she has breast cancer. Sadly: it was autobiographical. She passed away in August 2015, so ‘The Together Project’ was finished after she died.
