About This Movie

The film captures a delicate atmosphere, intertwining Hélène's emotional turmoil with the sterile yet intimate setting of a sickroom. The pacing feels almost languid, reflecting the slow evolution of Hélène and Henri's relationship, which starts in vulnerability and gradually morphs into something deeper. The performances are particularly striking, with a rawness that feels authentic rather than staged. One can appreciate the practical effects employed to evoke the period, adding to the film’s authenticity. It’s a heartfelt exploration of how love can bloom in the most unexpected circumstances, and it certainly leaves a mark on the viewer.
