Sobre o filme

Marcelline is an actress haunted by her role of Natalia Petrovna, heroine of Ivan Turgenev’s "A Month in the Country", which she is rehearsing with great difficulty. She tries to wash away her anxieties in a swimming pool with the help of a Glenn Miller tune. But it doesn’t work. Nothing can stop time marching on, cruelly reminding her that she’s 40 and still without child. Ever astonished by a world to which – it seems to her – she has never found the key, Marcelline nonetheless seeks endlessly to communicate with all those around her. But what can truly help her understand what she is doing on Earth? The Virgin Mary with whom she is already negotiating? Is it her father’s ghost, sitting magnificently on his lovely couch? Is it her mother, with her crazy perspective and love of boat trips? Or, much more simply, a kiss, one evening, from the youngest of the young leads? The film won the Special Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
