French Twist

In the sun‑drenched outskirts of a southern French town, Laurent and Loli appear to live a picture‑perfect life of modest comforts, raising young children while juggling the rhythms of daily routine. Beneath the calm veneer, Laurent carries a secret habit of slipping away for fleeting encounters, a fact that hovers unnoticed by his wife as the couple settles into the familiar cadence of suburban existence.

One afternoon a broken campervan forces an unexpected guest into their driveway: Marie‑Jo, a charismatic DJ with a bold, carefree spirit. She offers a simple favor in exchange for a phone call, and the small act of kindness quickly blossoms into something far more intimate. Drawn together by curiosity and a shared sense of yearning, Loli and Marie‑Jo begin to explore a connection that challenges the couple’s already‑established patterns. The household subtly reshapes itself, turning the familiar front door into a threshold for new possibilities and prompting Laurent to confront the shifting dynamics of his marriage.

The film unfolds with a warm, slightly mischievous tone, capturing the languid charm of the French countryside while probing the complexities of desire, loyalty, and self‑discovery. Its palette blends gentle humor with an undercurrent of tension, inviting viewers to wonder how far the characters will go to redefine love and family. As the trio navigates the uncharted terrain of an unconventional arrangement, the story hints at both the exhilaration and the uncertainty that accompany any bold departure from the ordinary.
