Synopsis
"Mathieu (Guillaume Canet), a conflicted yet successful actor, abruptly quits his first theatre production and checks himself into a thalassotherapy resort. Hoping to reconnect with his self, he reunites with Alice (Alba Rohrwacher), a former lover from 15 years ago, now remarried and living in the small town nearby. Bathed in soothing seaside light, and driven by subtle, elliptical editing, Stéphane Brizé’s (A Woman’s Life, 41st) latest flirts with comedy before revealing a heart-rending and remarkably mature drama about fear of failure and aging with regrets for the roads not taken.
