In the stark, windswept landscapes of rural France, a filmmaker's search for inspiration spirals into a profoundly unconventional journey in this daring drama from acclaimed director Alain Guiraudie. Damien Bonnard stars as Leo, a screenwriter battling creative block who becomes entangled with a solitary shepherd, Raphael Thierry's Marcel, and a mysterious young mother, played by India Hair. As Leo navigates a series of increasingly raw and intimate encounters, his life begins to mirror the unpredictable, untamed nature that surrounds him, blurring the lines between creation, responsibility, and primal instinct. The film weaves a challenging and hypnotic tapestry of desire, parenthood, and artistic struggle, maintaining a tense and often surreal atmosphere that contemplates the very effort of "staying vertical" against life's relentless pressures. With unflinching honesty and a tone that oscillates between stark realism and dreamlike allegory, this provocative narrative explores the chaotic beauty of human connection and the wild territories of the heart.
