Vincent Lindon plays Jean, a burly and happily married housing
contractor. One fateful afternoon, he picks up his son (Arthur Le Houérou)
from school and meets the teacher, a willowy beauty named Mademoiselle
Chambon (Sandrine Kiberlain). Their flirtation slowly builds over lingering
glances and an impromptu violin solo in Chambon's apartment. Like the
classical music they swoon over, their relationship builds through subtle
movements: the tilt of a head, or an inadvertent brush of the cheek, fills
their hearts with longing. Jean soon comes to a crossroads, having to choose
between the intensity of his bond with Chambon or the responsibility and
care he feels for his wife (Aure Atika) and child.

A slow flowing emotional piece, where all communication takes place through fixed gazes underlined by weaving string tones. A watchable festival cliché, but without emotional impact and therefore forgettable faster than it should be.
