Tickets for the 20.30 screening on Tuesday 25th will cost just €13 for both IFI and Alliance Française members.

Following a burnout, Hélène (Mélanie Thierry) leaves Paris for the solace of her childhood hometown where she realises how much has changed for her compared to those who stayed behind. She encounters Christophe (Bastien Bouillon), an old flame whose dreams of becoming a hockey champion have faded, along with his marriage. As their reunion stirs old emotions and rekindles Hélène’s long-lost desires, they must determine if their new bond can bridge the gap that has grown between them over the years.
