Twenty minutes. Sixty years. Two women. One secret that refuses to stay buried.
Two septuagenarians return to a small town in the Dordogne. Every step they take brings them closer to the event that changed their lives sixty years earlier.
Acting
Rovère and Lebrun: decades of French cinema in every restrained gesture.
Cinematography
Dordogne autumn as emotional landscape—beauty that suffocates.
Direction
Pouppeville trusts silence more than dialogue.
Director
Margot Pouppeville
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in the actual village where Pouppeville's grandmother lived; the Dordogne's postwar silence around queer lives is regional memory, not fiction.
Rovère and Lebrun improvised the café scene after Pouppeville locked the script away—what they don't say was never written.
