DramaRomance

Jeanne is a young woman, striking but otherwise without qualities. Her mother tries to get her a job in the office of a lawyer, Bleistein, her lover years ago. Jeanne fails the interview but falls into a relationship with Franck, a wrestler whose dreams and claims of being in a legitimate business partnership Jeanne is only too happy to believe. When Franck is arrested, he turns on Jeanne for her naivety; she's stung and seeks attention by making up a story of an attack on a train. Is there any way out for her?

VIBE

A quiet, introspective drama that explores the fragile search for self. It feels like drifting through hazy memories, where unspoken desires and self-deception create a melancholic, unsettling atmosphere. A film that lingers long after the credits roll.
