Quelques Secondes

About This Movie

Quelques Secondes immerses you in the fragile world of five young women in a Parisian shelter. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, as they navigate their haunted pasts—each story of trauma affecting their present. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to sit with their pain, their small victories, and sometimes, their failures. It’s raw and unfiltered, with performances that often feel like they are pulled straight from reality rather than a script. The way the film handles themes of violence and abandonment is striking, yet it doesn’t shy away from moments of hope, however fleeting. What sets it apart is how it captures the mundane alongside the profound, painting a portrait of resilience amid despair.
