Les vagues

Emma wakes to a strange noise outside her window — not an alarm, not the neighbors. She approaches the glass and sees a crowd moving slowly down the street, all gazing at the same point on the horizon. Instead of panic, their faces show calm anticipation. This day was meant to be ordinary: work at the archive, an evening call to her sister, watching an old film. But now everything has shifted. The 2025 drama explores the fragility of the everyday when the familiar world develops a crack. Director Claire Dupont avoids grand spectacle, focusing on microscopic details — a trembling hand on a doorknob, an uncertain glance through a window, a silence that grows louder than any scream. The film becomes a tuning fork for the anxieties of modern life, lived in anticipation of the unknown.
