🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Édouard Bergeon's film is a slow, merciless chronicle of a quiet crisis unfolding against endless fields. The camera meticulously captures the details of daily life and labor, transforming routine into a powerful drama of existence.

What lingers after the credits is the profound emotional weight and the meticulously crafted sense of a world where the cost of a dream is paid in solitude as much as in sweat. A poignant study of a man losing his footing in the most literal way. — MovieFinder Editorial
