Antoine has agreed to follow a writing workshop where some young people in insertion must write a black novel with the help of Olivia, a recognized novelist. The work of writing will bring to life the working-class past of the city. Its shipyard is closed for 25 years, a nostalgia that does not interest Antoine, influenced by the anxiety of the present world

VIBE

A somber, atmospheric dive into collective memory and artistic creation. It feels like sifting through old photographs, uncovering buried truths with a quiet intensity. The past looms large, shaping present anxieties in this thoughtful, character-focused drama.
