April 2020 – Lockdown. Etienne, a film director, and his brother Paul, a music journalist, are confined together in their childhood home with their new partners Morgane and Carole. Every room, every object, reminds them of their childhood, and the memories of the absents - their parents, their neighbors…This compels them to measure the distance that separates them from each other and the roots they share, those of their ground zero. As the world around them is becoming increasingly unsettling, unreality, and even a disturbing strangeness, invades their daily gestures and actions. Read More Read Less

David Jenkins Little White Lies The film ambles along in a very agreeable seriocomic fashion and does not concern itself with a contrived dramatic arc. Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) There’s really nothing happening beyond the self-consciously artsy chat between Paul, brother Etienne (Micha Lescot) and poorly sketched partners. Rated: 2/5 Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Adam Solomons indieWire Its over-reliance on pandemic rituals stops it from being able to explore its deeper feelings in a full way, and places it in a genre that no one seems able to crack. Maybe it’s time to stop trying. Rated: C+ Feb 18, 2024 Full Review Jaime Pena Caimán Cuadernos de Cine A minor film that only seems to be justified by an impasse in the director's career or, simply, because a great idea was barely enough for a short film. [Full review in Spanish] Mar 6, 2024 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage Despite Vincent Macaigne's great performance, the movie did not work for me. [Full review in Spanish] Feb 28, 2024 Full Review Sarah Manvel Critic's Notebook Showing people who didn't have to fight very hard is the spoonful of sugar which helps the medicine of revisiting lockdown go down.
