What it is about
What to expect
Arnaud drifts; Madeleine stockpiles. When she enlists in a boot camp to prep for environmental collapse, he follows her in, more out of infatuation than conviction. What follows is less a romance than two people discovering each other through mud, drills, and exhaustion. Director Thomas Cailley keeps the tone dry and the absurdity quiet — the comedy comes from how seriously everyone takes very silly exercises, not from punchlines. The 6.5/10 audience score (458 votes) suggests it lands better with viewers who like their love stories unsentimental and their apocalypses small-scale. Screening as part of the French Cinema Panorama 2026, so it will only appear in select cinemas. 98 minutes, French with English subtitles. No premium-format screenings listed.
