Overview

  • Arte begins broadcasting the series on Thursday, with the first two episodes airing at 20:55 and all eight episodes available on arte.tv the same day.
  • The story follows three Paris roommates whose Sunday ritual of watching sad films frames an intimate look at youth, friendship and creative ambition.
  • Liv Henneguier, Clara Bretheau and Théo Christine lead the cast as Louise, Charlie and Nelson, drawing praise for natural, affecting performances.
  • Critics from Télérama, France Inter and Ouest‑France commend the show’s poetic tone and its deliberate counterpoint to glossy Paris clichés.
