Synopsis
A large and beautiful property on the French Riviera. A place that seems out of time and sheltered from the rest of the world. Anna goes there with her daughter for a few days of vacation. Amidst her family, friends and the house staff, she has to handle her fresh break-up with her partner and the writing of her next film.
Behind their laughter, anger and secrets emerge fears, desires and power relations. Everyone shuts out the rumblings of the world and must face the mysteries of their own existence.
Director’s Statement
Since I was born, I’ve spent every vacation in a big and beautiful property on the French Riviera. It’s a seemingly timeless place, sheltered from the world. With this film I tell the story of a group of people in this house, the owners’ family, their friends and employees. I recount each person’s solitude, despite their being in a group, the overbearing dynamics of relationships, fears, shame, revolt, desires, and their loves. My intention is to relate how each person deliberately chooses to ignore the noise of the world outside, the time that passes, death that is lurking; how everyone is alone faced with the mystery of their own existence.
