About This Movie

Fabien, played with a relatable sort of weariness, loses his job and is thrust into a rather awkward situation. The pacing feels very real, almost like a slice-of-life, as we see him navigate his mother’s resistance to vacate her apartment. The relationship between Fabien and Marie-Louise has this bittersweet undertone, particularly when André enters the picture, adding layers to their conflict. The humor isn't over-the-top; it's more about the subtle absurdities of everyday life, which makes it feel grounded.
