SOIRÉES TAPIS BLEU | HYGIÈNE SOCIALE

Antonin is philosophical, seductive and a petty crook. His world revolves around five women with different temperaments: estranged wife Églantine, sister Solveig, tax collector Rose, alluring Cassiopée and Aurore, the victim of one of his crimes. They take turns confronting Antonin, who can talk his way out of just about anything.

Denis Côté’s thirteenth feature is a physically distanced verbal jousting match; in six chapters organized around the women, this funny and unusual film uses clever dialogue to take a detached look at the inexpressible.
