Portrait of a broken family, frame by frame.

Agnès and Nora see their father arrive after many years of absence. A renowned director, he offers Nora, a theater actress, a role in his next film, but she refuses defiantly. He then offers the role to a young Hollywood star, reigniting painful family memories.

Why this movie?

The film opens with a house. Not just a place, but a silent witness, almost a being in its own right. A voiceover describes this dwelling as if it had “eyes” and “ears” and could feel the life within it.

 

This house serves as a mirror for the family: the cracks that run through it are visible traces of broken bonds, unspoken words, and spaces where memories linger. The two sisters, their father, and their shared past come together within these walls. The house becomes a place of confrontation, memory, and reconstruction.

This film is worth seeing for the subtlety of its writing: how art and life intertwine.
