Between his friends and the family business, Arnaud's summer looks set to be a peaceful one. Peaceful until he runs into Madeleine, as beautiful as she is brusque, a concrete block of tensed muscles and doomsday prophecies. He expects nothing; she prepares for the worst. He takes things as they come, likes a good laugh. She fights, runs, swims, pushes herself to the limit. Given she hasn't asked him for anything, just how far will he go along with her? It's a love story. Or a story of survival. Or both. (Curious Films)

This all-round rough romance was incredibly appealing to me. It takes courage to fall in love with a girl who acts more like a guy most of the time. And although it didn't look like it at first, Arnaud did indeed have the courage. At the right moment, he decided to have the upper hand and Madeleine unwittingly succumbed to him. The central couple played by Kevin Azaïs and Adèle Haenel was very nice to look at, and they performed the mismatched couple more than convincingly. At every turn, the original story is superbly complemented by fresh dialogues, and humorous moments have their indispensable place here. The music goes hand in hand with the pace of the story, and I can't overlook the beautiful natural locations either. All in all, I had a great time with it and didn't suffer from boredom at any point, so I'm ready to... give it a full score.
