Drama

Erell is a young girl living with a chronically-ill mother and a quirky father in a small factory town in France. She is never without her camera, and rarely without the company of her three childhood friends. The return of her sister after four years of silence may finally shed some light on the parts of herself and of her family she has never understood.

VIBE

A deeply personal and unflinching look at fractured family dynamics. It feels like sifting through old home videos, uncovering buried truths and lingering regrets. The atmosphere is heavy with unspoken history and the quiet desperation of small-town life.
