In the clinic where she is being treated, Claire is attracted to Philippe, a man who is still traumatized after a car accident in which his wife and child were both killed.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Zaïda Ghorab-Volta constructs a narrative on the contrast between the fragility of memory and the resilience of emotion. She relies on a muted visual palette and explores not the illness itself, but the person that remains behind its advancing veil.

What lingers after the credits is not a sense of tragedy, but a quiet, profound meditation on the moments that define us beyond recollection. It’s a film that values feeling over remembering. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Zabou Breitman
