2022 ‘Le feu au lac’ Directed by Pierre Menahem
A high mountain hamlet, early summer. Félix comes down from the pastures where he’s guarding his cows and finds his old mother lying lifeless on her bed. Shaken, he runs off. He drives a few miles in the valley to the house of a young man who just contacted him on a dating app.

Grief brings up a lot of pent-up desire to be acted out in different ways. For Felix, the "death" of this mother allows him to be free in a way.
Le film n'évite pas la caricature du film d'auteur introspectif mais qui ne raconte pas grand chose.
