Synopsis

Claire, a young magistrate at the law court in Lyon, meets Stéphane, an experienced, disillusioned magistrate who she involves in her fight against over-indebtedness. Something happens between them: a fusion of revolt and emotions, and above all the urgent need to live it all to the full. «It’s a story about the many faces of love. Despite the lack of ambiguity in the relationship as experienced by the characters, this is instead found in the eyes of others… as probably in the eyes of the spectator, who will live their encounter through the prism of their own experience and doubts». (Philippe Lioret) –Venice Days
