A manipulative Spanish teacher plays a dangerous game with a particularly rebellious male student and gets caught in her own trap. A young agnostic taking care of her invalid sister is forced to rethink her stance on religion. A Ghanaian-born photographer adopted by French diplomats leaves the choice of her next lover to fate. Djinn Carrénard's film asks: Do we choose to love? Do we choose to be loved? Made on a 150€ budget, this freshly experimental film has wowed critics.
