Two families spend a weekend at a country house, enjoying the lake, cooking, and discussing finances. Though there is some envy, their time together is peaceful until a near-tragic accident changes everything. An originally told story about dealing with trauma and loss.
« An absorbing and intensely conceived story that acutely dramatizes the difficulty of overcoming a sudden loss. » (Roger Ebert).
« A wonderfully destabilising film hiding an ever-burning emotional fire beneath a layer of sophisticated sang-froid. » (Cineuropa)
