Just a Sigh

Le temps de l'aventure

In the short break between performances in Calais, stage actress Alix, played by the stunning Emmanuelle Devos (Desplechin's Christmas Tale), makes a quick escape to Paris. On the train, she meets a mysterious English stranger. Drawn toward him, she follows him and, at least for a few hours, falls in love with him before facing what could be a new life.

JUST A SIGH captures an irrational, sentimental encounter balanced between the extremes of elopement and routine, with breathtaking psychological intrigue.

Winner of the Silver Hugo for Best Director at the Chicago International Film Festival. Nominated for Best Narrative Feature at the Tribeca Film Festival.

"A bracingly romantic drama that's alive with a mature sense of passion and mystery." - Sheri Linden, The Los Angeles Times
