Samuel, our protagonist, is still grappling with his past with Laetitie, who has moved on to Gayle. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter at times, but it somehow suits the story's tone. There's this light-hearted charm while also confronting some pretty weighty themes about love and longing. The performances are surprisingly genuine, and you can sense the chemistry—even in the awkward moments. It has a laid-back vibe, which might not be for everyone, but it’s distinctive in its approach to showcasing the absurdities of love.
