Back from a holiday in Spain, Lili, 19, finds that Loic, her twin brother, has left the house following a row with their father. She disapproves of her parents' apparently light attitude and is particularly shocked by her father's reluctance to even talk about the event. Lili desperately waits for a phone call from Loic but her brother shows no sign of life. It is not long before Lili falls into depression and her condition quickly deteriorates. She won't eat anymore and is about to die when, at long last, a postcard written and sent by Loic brings her back to life.. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

There are topics and ways of processing a subject that suit you in your teenage years, and then there are topics whose human dimension you fully understand only when you are older. This film about how a French middle-class family copes with the departure of one of the household members is initially seemingly about the relationship between two siblings, but with each passing minute, it becomes apparent that it's actually about the relationship between a daughter and her parents. This intimate drama about the lack of courage to communicate the inevitable doesn't have an elaborately polished screenplay, but it has a strongly emotive theme and a solid cast led by the well-known Mélanie Laurent. This inconspicuous film got under my skin, and as a parent, I can empathize with the positions of everyone involved. Overall impression: 75%.
