A midsummer night’s dream. A forest path, a river, two children, and a memory that’s grown hazier over the years. A woman returns to the landscapes of her childhood, where her brother’s presence survives only as a silhouette, a feeling, a movement, a sound. Above it all – a starry night.

Every frame created by the acclaimed French filmmaker Patron is picturesque and sensual. Leading us into a forest by a river, she conjures an eternal sunshine of spotless memories. It illuminates childhood, loss, and the way our unreliable memory both preserves and reshapes what we cannot forget. The film premiered in the Critics’ Week program at Cannes.
