A nuclear power plant serves as the setting for a forbidden romance as volatile as the facility itself in the intense, brilliantly acted second feature from Rebecca Zlotowski (Belle Epine).
Gary (A Prophet’s Tahar Rahim) is an unskilled laborer looking for easy money and a place to belong. Karole (Léa Seydoux) is the fiancée of longtime plant employee Toni (Denis Ménochet).
Soon Gary and Karole fall in love, their moonlit trysts posing a growing threat.
Rebecca Zlotowski focuses both on the everyday routines of the workers and on the swooning passions of the love triangle at the film’s heart, with electronica pulsating on the soundtrack as her characters gamble ever more perilously in work and love. – The Film Society of Lincoln Center
