Lucky people are healed by childhood all their lives, and unfortunate people are healed by childhood all their lives. - Adler
⚠️Spoiler alert⚠️
The male protagonist Remy and the female protagonist Melanie live in two adjacent buildings on the same floor. Although they are neighbors across the wall, they have never met. Boys have been insomnia lately, and the automation of factories has replaced manual labor, making most people have to look for new occupations. Girls are lethargic and often miss a lot of important things.
Like all young singles living in big cities, their lives are simple and lonely. They brushed past drugstore consultations because of sleep problems; both were marketed by the grocer to his relative's dance studio; the girl's friend introduced her to Tinder, and the boy was advised to set up a Facebook profile; the boy She seems to be attracted to the enthusiastic and cheerful black girls she met in her new job, and the girls have also met a few boys who are interested in software... All the stories are naturally slow, and at the same time, they are full of emotions, and there are also some small jokes from the French. , such as selling eggs that are said to be bio.
But all of this did not allow them to truly resolve the loneliness of life and establish a real relationship. The movie is mixed with bland stories and the process of the male and female protagonists talking to the psychologist respectively. The final climax, it seems that all counseling goes back to childhood problems. The girl thought it was because her boyfriend left a year ago that she could not start a new relationship; in the end, she talked about the divorce of her parents since she was a child, and her father has not been in contact since he went to the United States and remarried. Instead, the heroine blamed her mother for her father's departure. On the head, and thus have a bad relationship with the mother. It seems that the boy can't find a new fulcrum because his career is replaced by automation; later, he talked about the original sister who died very early, and he always thought that it was because of his existence that he would bring misfortune to the people around him.
And what about the life of a psychiatrist? At his retirement party, he silently left the crowd and looked at his studio in dismay. Who will solve the loneliness of his retirement in his later years?
In a bustling city, individuals will feel lonely, and I have experienced this feeling deeply. Lie in a small room alone, open the window, and watch the clouds floating in the sky. Or in a foreign country, suddenly sad to see the street lights come on at dusk. But is this kind of loneliness really relieved by deliberate socializing or participating in activities? At least the movie tells us that only by finding the key that is holding you back from building a new relationship, and solving it, can you really start building a relationship.
After the psychological consultation, the girl finally got on the phone with her mother; while the boy plucked up the courage to go back to his hometown and ask his parents about the real reason for his sister's death. They all really solved their own problems. And it wasn't until the end of the movie that the hero and heroine met each other in the dance studio, and the movie stopped abruptly when the two were assigned as partners by the dance teacher.
This bland European film does not have many ups and downs in plots and stories, nor is it a serious documentary, it is just like the daily life of you and me who have had similar problems. I wish that on a sunny holiday afternoon, or a plane to a certain journey, I can find a touch of emotion through it.
