    A rather nicely, if basically, photographed short drama about "Lily" (Nathalie Boutefeu) and her soon to be husband "Grégoire" (Nicolas Koretzky) as they live an idyllic, bucolic, life with her mother in their remote woodland cottage. The couple are clearly in love as they head towards a wedding day celebrated with fireworks and a great big party. It's clearly been done on a shoestring budget and has something of the student project to it, but it is easy enough to watch. Don't expect to recall it, though - unless you were actually in it.

Early morning silence is broken by screeching tires as a helicopter bears down on a speeding vehicle. Taking a quick corner, the team tumbles out into the woods as their car pulls away. Now they must make their way through the thick of nature and thick gunfire to accomplish their mission. Not a single word of dialogue is spoken throughout the entire film. Instead, the music, sounds, images and deeply truthful acting turn a simple plot into an intense experience. Passion and intrigue keep building to the very end.
