CGiii Comment

In a word...weird - but not in a good way.

When a short film takes too much effort to see it through to the end - something is wrong.

This was like an uphill struggle...with an enormous weight of coal strapped loosely to your back.

41 wasted minutes.

The(ir) Blurb...

Twenty-year-old Eugène is somewhat aimless and has not been doing well in university. He is staying in a small village for the summer. He awkwardly seduces Pierre, a slightly older man who is working for Mathilde as caretaker for the season. Pierre is initially open to the relationship, but quickly becomes reluctant to become too involved.
