A slow, talky dive into desire and self-discovery, more philosophical than titillating, with an unsettling undertow.

Overview: Fed up with her present lifestyle, and more particularly sexually unsatisfied by her boyfriend Fred, Sandrine decides to find a new way in life. Intrigued by her friend Sophie, who tells her about her sexual experimentations, she will find, through various encounters, new pleasures and new experiences, whether physical or spiritual.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest and eerie. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Identity, sexuality, obsession, isolation
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild violence and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
