F 1996, 90’, 35mm, OmU, dir.: Yolande Zauberman
Two young women muse on how many men they have each slept with. Somewhere between self-assured and surprised by themselves, they drift through the night. One of them, Lola, later oversleeps her stop and wakes up in a bleak Paris suburb. Rather by chance, she ends up at a techno party, takes drugs, loses herself in the high, and meets Emir, a former boxer who is now struggling with cocaine addiction and a toxic love affair. Self-determined curiosity and boundless overwhelm alternate in this gloomy coming-of-age film, which is less a classic narrative than a hypnotic snapshot.
