A restless young woman falls in love with the partner of a former lover in Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet's debut feature.
The contours of Anaïs’ personality, on display through her brief, rattling conversation with her landlord, suggest a woman fixated on being interesting. As the landlord impatiently lectures her on installing a smoke detector and paying her overdue rent, Anaïs shuffles around the apartment, changing for a party and confessing how things between her and her partner Raoul aren’t working out.
Anaïs, who, it becomes clear, is not used to being rejected, does not take the breakup well. She becomes fixated on Emilie, trying to understand why Daniel would choose her instead. She reads Emilie’s books and watches her interviews — familiar actions to anyone wrestling through the knotty mess of heartbreak. But the process comes with its own surprises, and what begins as curiosity morphs into fascination, attraction, lust.is one of seduction.
pokes and prods at these questions, putting the two lovers in encounters that test various theories. The layers of Anaïs and Emilie’s courtship are familiar, but in Demoustier and Tedeschi’s hands they feel different, more ravishing. These are two people trying to figure each other out, Emilie initially skeptical of Anaïs’ interest and Anaïs hungry to learn more about this older, stoic woman.
