Alannah and Amara are a married couple in their early thirties, finally ready to start a family. After a chaotic kids' birthday party full of unfiltered parenting confessions, their dream of having a child becomes stronger than ever. Their journey through fertility options is funny, messy, and deeply human from anonymous donor apps to their gay best friends, David and Tom, offering to help. What follows is a series of awkward, hilarious attempts at home insemination (yes, with science goggles) and the very real emotional ups and downs of trying to conceive. Each negative test hits hard, but support from Amara's mum, Joy, and the couple's rock-solid partnership keeps them going.

This charming short film was shot in the Camargue, probably in the same place where Jean Durand filmed his cowboy movies. The plot is very simple. A guardian falls in love with a Parisian. Desperate, he commits suicide when she returns to the capital. But, as always with Perret, we appreciate the framing, the skilful use of the exteriors and the documentary side of life of the time. We see the young Arlesianas in traditional dress go out to collect almonds and return with their baskets to the city. The actor in the role of the guardian overreacts, imitating bombastic despair. But the finale, in which he rides a horse through the waves to find the rest of death, preserves its charm intact. Perret knows how to set the rhythm of a sequence and give it the necessary atmosphere.

An experimental short film made as part of a multi-media triptych, originally screened alongside a fashion collection and an art-installation.
