Romance. Drama Daphné who is three months pregnant and on holiday in the countryside, finds herself alone playing host to Maxime, a cousin of her partner’s. The latter, François, has had to rush back to Paris to fill in for a hospitalised colleague. Over the course of four days, as they await François’ return, Daphné and Maxime slowly get to know one another, sharing very personal stories which bring them closer together; stories of love, both happy and sad.

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Lisa Nesselson Screendaily	"[It's] lengthy but deliciously calibrated (...) This would fit perfectly in a time capsule under ’Unapologetic French Art Film’"	POS
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"The filmmaker approaches all of his characters’ differing perspectives on love and sex with the same amount of respect (...) [It] manages to end in an unexpected way that feels just right"	POS
	Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"Mouret trials and skilfully succeeds at a new recipe for decrypting the complexity of the love choices we make (...) [It strikes] an ideal balance between subtle humour and universal emotions"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"There’s no denying the pleasure of a sapiosexual romance such as this, where the turn-on is to be found in the characters’ intelligence."	POS
