Just like its title, time is suspended in this warm-spirited film that pleasantly balances humour and drama. April 2020 – Lockdown. Etienne, a film director, and his brother Paul, a music journalist, are confined together in their childhood home with their new partners Morgane and Carole. Every room, every object, reminds them of their childhood, and the memories of the departed – their parents, their neighbours... As the world around them is becoming increasingly unsettling, unreality, and even a disturbing strangeness invades their daily gestures and actions. Olivier Assayas’ most autobiographical film to date has premiered at the Berlinale for the main competition.

This film is screened with the kind contribution of Institut Français.

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
