France | French | 35' | Drama
An absurdist tragedy set in a repressive society where kissing is punishable by death, and people pay for things by receiving slaps to the face. Angine, an unhappy woman, shops compulsively in a department store. There, she becomes fascinated by an ingenuous salesgirl. Despite the prohibition of kissing, the two become close, raising the suspicions of a jealous colleague.
Alexandre Singh & Natalie Musteata's talent oozes out of the screen—an auteur with spectacular creative vision. Set in a dystopian world, this film captures longing and desire in a way that’s both electrifying and unforgettable. The stand-out cinematography and meticulous detail make every glance feel loaded with meaning. It’s a bold, one-of-a-kind vision—I guarantee you’ve never seen anything like this.
