Astragal
On a night of April 1957, Albertine, a brillant and rebel 19-year-old girl, jumps from the wall of the prison where she’s serving a sentence for a holdup. In her fall, a bone from her ankle breaks: the astragal. She is rescued by Julien, a justice fugitive, and so is born a burning passion between them. He takes her to Paris and hides her. But while he leads his gangster life here and there, the young woman struggles for her freedom and against the wounds inflicted by Julien’s absence, and writes poetry.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a story not of criminal love, but of captivity within dependency. It explores the prison two people build for each other, where physical bars are replaced by emotional chains. The director relies on close-ups and a muted palette to convey the heroine's inner claustrophobia.
What lingers after viewing is the bitter residue of a relationship where rescue becomes another form of confinement. What remains when passion fades and the bone never truly heals? — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Brigitte Sy
