Our take
Stéphane Batut subverts all expectations in his perfectly-pitched first feature: a supernatural love story that couples an epic magical realism with down-to-earth melancholy, approaching familiar themes of love and loss from an original, thought-provoking perspective. Winner of the Prix Jean Vigo!
