Dominique Choisy : 2011
Wild Strawberries
Violette lives in the heart of the countryside near Amiens, with her parents who are wealthy farm owners. Gabriel is a cashier in a supermarket who sleeps with men and couples for money. These two inconspicuous characters may appear to have little history, but they are suffocating in their daily lives, and both hide dark secrets. Their paths cross when Violette's senile grandmother gets lost after going out on an unapproved walk from her retirement home and runs into Gabriel, mistaking him for her son. In a dire financial situation, Gabriel, who also has to provide for his little sister, commits a crime and hides at Violette's place. She also committed a crime, a much worse one, and now two people with nothing in common are united in sharing each other's secret. From hesitant meetings to chance encounters, in the course of the seasons they will travel an unpredictable path as they seek to break free of their chains and resort to radical solutions.
