Drama

Grégoire Canvel has everything a man could want. A wife he loves, three delightful children, and a stimulating job. He's a film producer. Discovering talented filmmakers and developing films that fit his conception of the cinema-free and true to life-is precisely his reason for living. Yet his prestigious production company, Moon Films, is on its last legs.

VIBE

A quiet, devastating look at the weight of responsibility and the quiet desperation of a man trying to hold onto his dreams. It feels deeply personal and achingly real, like watching a slow-motion collision.
