Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Schatteman shot this during an actual vacation to the Côte d'Azur, rewriting the script daily based on available light and locations.
The film quietly interrogates the 'gay summer romance' trope by denying viewers the easy catharsis of connection — Louis leaves as alone as he arrived, and that's the point.
