L'AMOUR A LA MER.
During her holiday in Brest, a young Parisian falls in love with a sailor. But autumn comes and the two lovers have to part. They write to each other. Will their love resist at a distance, each living his life, him in Brest with his friends, she in Paris who keeps waiting for him? An impossible love story and the cross-portrait of two cities, Paris and Brest, between the realism of the color images and the poetry infused by the sepia black and white images, lives to the rhythm of the nostalgia of the two lovers…
"Set in Paris during the denouement of the Algerian War, Gilles’s film is about life's quietest cruelty: the passage of time. Over the course of L’amour à la mer’s 74 minutes, the months and seasons pass, all indifferently. Love blossoms; love dies. Time continues heedlessly, in spite of the withering of passion, the suffering plight of love. How do we acknowledge injustice—whether it be of our countries or of our desires—when all this will be forgotten?" - Annie Geng, Screen Slate.
