Finally reunited!

DramaComedy

Louise, who has just written a novel, comes to Paris to meet with a potential publisher. While in the city, she stays with her older sister, Martine, who in many ways is the exact opposite of Louise: she lives in a fashionable neighborhood, is cold to others, and has snobby friends, while Louise lives in a small town and is thoroughly unpretentious. Louise's apparent happiness -- and similarities to their mother -- gradually gets on Martine's nerves.

VIBE

A sharp, yet tender exploration of sibling rivalry set against the backdrop of Parisian decadence. It feels like eavesdropping on sophisticated conversations, revealing the quiet anxieties and unspoken resentments beneath a polished surface. A thoughtful, character-driven experience.
