This was 37-yo Gaspard Ulliel's penultimate film before his death in a ski accident - the film is dedicated to him. It was directed by German director Emily Atef.

It's a heavy film—so many different lives in the world that we don't know about and can't even imagine. And when you watch movies like these or read books, you really start to think about your family and loved ones, because nothing will ever be more precious to you.
