It is June 2021 and the end of the school year at the Hénin-Beaumont high school. Linda and Irina are best friends. Between TikTok videos and science classes, they confide in each other about their family, their future, and other teenage preoccupations. But Linda has to move house yet again, and will not be here next term. In spite of her mother’s advice, this time she has grown attached to a friend, and their separation will be a painful one. As the summer begins, her heart is sore. Guillaume Brac films Linda and Irina in this pivotal time of adolescence, where everything is a balancing act between doing what one wants and living up to parents’ expectations, in the run-up to that long-awaited adulthood. A time when one forms unforgettable friendships, fleeting but foundational romances, and fates that will ultimately be upended. The multi-award-winning French director has once again constructed a wonderfully light-hearted tale with Rohmerian touches, in which his two characters are illuminated in a way that makes us feel like we know and love them; just like real film heroines, in fact.

In this allegorical and rare masterpiece, a bizarre gallery of characters representing different aspects of society (the aristocrat, the scholar, the artist) assemble in a glass castle perched atop a mountain in the middle of nowhere. Nowhere Madeleine Renaud plays the owner of a hotel where this group interacts and lives (literally and guratively) on the edge of an abyss. In stark contrast to this, down in the valley, workers vie with the elements while building an enormous hydro-electric dam. The interaction of the castle dwellers and the workers is triggered by the presence of a lovely woman, with whom everyone falls in love. Tensions reach an explosive point at a nightmarish fancy-dress ball. Grémillon’s sympathies were un inchingly with the rugged working class. A symphonic love letter to industrial modernism-to sinewy, self- made men (and women).
