Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Vinel and Poggi shot in actual dying French suburbs, using real empty developments as character—not backdrop. The landscape is doing the emotional heavy lifting.
This premiered at Cannes Critics' Week, part of a wave of French shorts obsessed with listless young men and concrete landscapes—call it 'sad boy brutalism.'
