In the middle of the night, someone brings Ivan's body home to his wife and his young son. Flashbacks reveal the relationships among Ivan and his brother Alex, a cop with a cleanliness fetish; siblings Juliette and Jimmy, Ivan's partners in a seedy nightclub; the love triangle of Alex, Juliette, and Marie, a professor of philosophy; and of Alex and his nephew, Ivan's dour, stoic son. Ivan's death changes every relationship.

VIBE

A smoky, melancholic dive into the tangled lives left behind by a sudden death. It's a gritty, character-driven drama that feels like a whispered confession in a dimly lit room, exploring the weight of unspoken desires and fractured bonds.
