Selected twice in competition at Cannes for The Law of the Market (2015) and At War (2018), Stéphane Brizé offers a nostalgic Breton fresco.

Technicians, actors. He drowns his melancholy in the hot tubs – but the spiritual rest will be short-lived, since Mathieu will come across an old acquaintance. Alice, piano teacher, with whom he shared a love story fifteen years ago now. Since then, they have led their lives without looking back, the resentment seems to have dissipated, but this curious encounter will inevitably revive old feelings.
