Unmistakably French in its melancholy, this treatment of an apocalyptic subject (the film takes place after some kind of global disaster) takes La Jetée as its primary reference.

The house isn’t very large so all of them find themselves unable to avoid each other. Starring the remarkable independent filmmaker Virgil Vernier in a blissfully awkward performance, Brieuc Schieb navigates humour, irritation, and intimacy in his meticulously composed first feature – all to face a question not just today’s art world is obsessed with: Who can really bear living in a collective?
