Synopsis without spoiler

As they struggle to come to terms with their loss, they are also left with various questions about the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death. Determined to get to the bottom of things, the siblings embark on a journey to uncover the truth.

It’s a French movie and it’s good. Especially the visuals and soundtrack. I normally avoid different language movies, but it has a hook that will keep you with the movie till the end in one go.

I usually watch movies like episodes, but if it’s interesting in any manner, I’ll finish it in the first stretch.

The movie begins with a single shot and it’s marvelous, beautifully stitched together. Throughout the film, it’s a cut and then again a single shot to a turning point. We don't even notice it, but we do. That’s the trick.

Anyway, the story is also good and I’m not spoiling anything.
