Arman is thirty-three years old and has decided that the time has come to change his lifestyle: the first step is to go for a run and that Saturday he goes to the park with the best of intentions. At the first curve he runs into Amélie and his life really does change, much sooner than predicted. The destiny of the couple is tied to that of Benjamin, Arman’s best friend, who suffers a heart attack after a fall. As the months pass, the lives of the three intertwine, between memories, accidents and love stories.

Declaration
film director
“The chapter structure, the direct camera address, and the parentheses in the story turned out to be idyllic directorial decisions. An intimate and special relationship then emerges between the audience and the characters. Something magical and unique happens when the person on the screen looks at you and talks to you directly. I wanted to make this film in order to share something of what the society in which I live is like; to bear witness – modestly – to an era that is coming to an end, to the changing way people relate to each other. We love differently in 2013, we have a different approach to death. We are increasingly less carefree.”
