Synopsis

Drifting Laurent

Lost at 29, Laurent retreats to an empty Alpine ski resort, where clashes with quirky residents ignite conflict, challenge his isolation and push him toward connection and self-discovery.

What We Wanted to Be

An impossible love story that begins outside a movie theater, continues in a café and could end with the two protagonists together… if real life wasn’t much more complicated than the movies. United by their love of cinema, these two main characters decide to live the lives they dreamed of and not the lives they are destined to live. In a series of encounters, imagination triumphs over reality and everyday reality takes a back seat.
