The pacing feels intentional, allowing you to absorb Pierr's emotional turmoil, especially after he loses his job following malicious rumors about his sexuality. The performances, particularly from Pierr, are strikingly authentic, capturing a mix of vulnerability and resilience. It’s a film that doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of its characters’ lives, yet there’s a certain beauty in their struggles.
