Un balcon sur la mer

A man's life is turned upside down by a visitor from the past.

Marc leads a quiet life as a real estate agent with this wife and daughter in the south of France. One day he meets a young woman he seems to know at a house he wants to sell. In her he sees Cathy, his first love in Algeria, a short time before he and his family were forced to leave by the war. Just as a relationship starts to bud between them, she disappears, and a tormented Mark goes in search of her...

At the same time beautiful, strange, enchanting and unnecessarily complicated through the constant use of flashbacks, Nicole Garcia's latest feature film is perplexing. Although it never manages to become moving, it is nevertheless a delicate voyage through childhood, the emergence of feelings for others, through history and doubt. All covered in a tremendous layer of suspense.
