In a chilling twist, he offers the thief a deal for his freedom—kill him and bury his body in a statue like his wife’s.

In this luminous reimagining of Françoise Sagan’s timeless novel, Claes Bang, Chloë Sevigny, and breakout talent Lily McInerny deliver standout performances. Set against the radiant backdrop of the French Riviera, the story follows 18-year-old Cécile as she passes a dreamy summer with her charismatic father and his alluring girlfriend. Lazy days are filled with sun-soaked swims, youthful flirtations, and leisurely apéritifs—until the arrival of Anne, a renowned fashion designer and old friend of Cécile’s late mother. Her presence disrupts the idyllic atmosphere, revealing hidden tensions beneath the surface. First-time Canadian director Durga Chew-Bose brings a fresh, poetic lens to this evocative tale of youth, desire, and the complexity of love, all beautifully underscored by rich visuals and a carefully curated soundtrack.
