We are subtly held by this quiet and reflective film centred on a group of friends, all of African descent, living in a Paris suburb. Widowed engine driver Lionel shares a flat with his attractive student daughter, Jo, in the same block as the handsome taxi driver Gabrielle and good looking businessman Noe. Relationships are tested by the characters’ desire to move on while the action takes us on Lionel and Jo’s visit to his elderly mother-in-law in Germany. The film observes its characters’ moods and shifting feelings with the same concern and affection as they show each other. |
