Anton came to the small town of La Chiota in southern France to attend a summer screenwriting workshop where they would write a crime mystery novel with the help of the renowned author Olivia. During the process, everyone needed to recall and experience the industrial history of the small town. In this cross-racial team, the intelligent and outspoken Anton often made controversial remarks and had conflicts with other participants, standing out from the rest. Olivia had no choice but to expel him from the workshop. Olivia is both alert and fascinated by Anton's violent tendencies. How should she deal with this collective creation on the verge of collapse and how should she face herself? The film, set in a suspenseful atmosphere, vividly reflects the views of contemporary French youth on this complex society and the predicaments they face through back-and-forth debates and escalating conflicts. The film was shortlisted for the UN Certain Regard section of the 70th Cannes Film Festival. Lauren Guntae once again collaborated with Robin Campillo, the director of "120 Beats per Minute", as a screenwriter. They selected non-professional actors with diverse backgrounds at the shooting location, infusing each actor's unique personality into their roles and realistically capturing their performances with multiple cameras.[Collapse]
