🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Pollet constructs the film as an intimate conversation, relying on the protagonist's testimony and sparse observational footage. The director avoids sentimentality, letting the facts and emotions speak for themselves.
What lingers after viewing is not pity, but a profound respect for human resilience and a contemplation on the universality of love and community. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Jean-Daniel Pollet
