8 Times Up
Directed by Xabi Molia
Produced by Moteur s'il vous plaît, Rouge International
A tender, character-driven comedy about two struggling neighbors finding connection and resilience amid economic precarity and personal setback.
Elsa makes a living from little jobs, struggling to gain custody of his son. Mathieu, who lives next door, also keeps getting job interviews only to polish his art of failure. Their situation is increasingly precarious, but both are trying to bounce back in a world that seems not to fit them.
