He continues to focus on intimacy, sexuality, and family.
Developed Projects
When his wife leaves him overnight, Julien, 44, sees his orderly life collapse. Shaken by the energy of Marseille, his teenage son’s ideals, and the friendship of a free spirit named Balt, he tries to reinvent himself in a world where masculine benchmarks are wavering. An existential comedy—tender and piquant—about identity crisis and the virtues of letting go.
