Here is a story of self-discovery, entering adulthood and freeing oneself. The tone is sarcastic, lucid, cruel yet realistic. On a background of R&B and electronic music, Nicolas Fargues gives us an impressive and subtle account of gender relations and examining the choices one has made in the past.

It’s obvious you and I were meant to be together, but we screwed it up every time.
