Certainement pas le bon soir pour voir ce film : des bons acteurs, un scénario intéressant et une fin inattendue mais bizarrement je ne suis jamais rentrée dans l’histoire et je m’y suis profondément ennuyée. Peut-être parce que les deux principaux protagonistes ne sont ni attachants ni sympathiques. Bref un rendez-vous manqué.
Synopsis
Summer 2019. Just graduated from Sciences Po, Madeleine leaves to prepare the orals of the ENA in Corsica with Antoine, her lover with whom she shares very left-wing political convictions. On a small deserted road, an unexpected encounter will seal their fate.
