DRAMA.
Love in confinement
“À la Joie” at 8:55 p.m., on Arte.
Suitcase in hand, a young woman slips through the Parisian crowd.
She pushes open the door of a crowded bar and collects the keys to a small apartment.
On the radio, Édouard Philippe assures that “we are a joyful people, happy to live together”, but regrets the presence of “too many people in cafes and restaurants”.
He announces “the closure, as of midnight this evening, of all places open to the public not essential to life”.
Instantly, we plunge back into March 2020. We remember our own daze, the questions to which no one had answers (should we leave the shopping on the landing? How long? When should we wash our cell phone?) .
In this unprecedented context, Véra meets Sam, a neighborhood neighbor.
While we wonder if we can still hold our parents without putting them in danger, while we wait outside, at a safe distance from each other, for permission to enter a supermarket where toilet paper is missing, a love story, deliciously staged, is born before our eyes.
