Solid performance from lead Lola Créton as the pretty, earnest and thoughtful girl, obsessed with her absent boyfriend. The action occurs over an approx. 8 year period; Camille studies architecture, a new relationship develops, yet always in the the background remains her first love, Sullivan. Will she ever succeed in breaking adrift?
Showing as an part of a series of 3 or 4 French previews (it'd be inacurate to call it a mini-festival) at Edinburgh's Filmhouse Cinema, this is a good example of a nicely stated, serious and likeable French film. Again, it deserves a higher rating on IMDB - it would be horrible to think of a potential viewer skipping it on this basis, or indeed of a talented young director getting discouraged.
One of the year's better films.
