First film by Hugo Gélin and to be frank, it's really bad. The acting is terrible, the camera effects annoying and the story lame. The photography is average.
An old man is annoying people in the street and remembers his childhood, especially his mother's perfume shop, "as he remembers his first love" (the dialogue is that bad, yes), like this ordinary day in the car with his parents where he was listening to some anachronistic music, and annoying his parents (he's very good at that). Back to the present, he enters a perfume shop and starts calling "maman" the woman working there while putting his head on her bosom. Then, going back to his apartment, he gave flowers to his neighbour, a young woman living with her family of really bad actors, a thing he does every single night. The film ends with the old man thinking of suicide and deciding to kill himself with his fingers instead of a gun.
So yeah, really bad. Doesn't really make you want to watch any film directed by Hugo Gélin (who found money to make films only because he's from a family of actors and producers). Even Jean Rochefort can't save this wreck.
