    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Nathalie Chazeaux is based on writer/director Mia Hansen-Løve's mother, Laurence Hansen-Løve who is a philosophy professor, and has written a book called Philosophy A to Z.
    • Goofs
      Nathalie is shown walking through the mud flats exposed along the beach at low tide. As she walks, she is clearly following footprints. Since the mud was previously underwater, the footprints must be from a previous take of Isabelle Huppert walking along the same path.
    • Quotes
      • Nathalie Chazeaux: All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.
