Statu Quo

Sarah and Adèle are about to finish high school in the village they grew up in. A village where nothing happens, ever. While, for Adèle, the future seems simple, Sarah can’t seem to find her place in it. What could she ever hope to do in a society that is so… so boring? That is, until she meets Simon, an outsider. Confronted by this out-of-the-ordinary military brat, Sarah starts quietly documenting the nothingness of her village. An exercise that will lead her to discover hidden facets of her hometown, as well as of her own identity.
