Just Before the Storm

Directed by Bruno Herbulot

With Laura Morante, Christophe Malavoy, Zabou Breitman and Christophe Odent

In this somewhat literary exploration of the meaning of romance, loosely based on the works of Henry James, five modern-day couples gather at a country estate to mark the anniversary of their long friendship. Their romantic maneuverings, past and present, are too complex to summarize here. However, it is clear that they love to talk about love, and will do so endlessly, given the slightest opportunity.
