Arthur, an apprentice tailor with dreams of becoming an haute couturist, is forced to choose between his eighty-year-old dying mentor, who fought in the resistance as a teenager, and Marie-Julie, a beautiful, melancholy young actress who he has only just met, but with whom he has fallen deeply in love, in Garrel’s lyrical, gorgeously shot short film, which features a particularly touching performance from Seydoux.
