Mood Indigo 12A
L'écume des jours
The
surreal and poetic tale of Colin, an idealistic and inventive young man, and
Chloé, a young woman who seems like the physical embodiment of the eponymous
Duke Ellington tune.
Their idyllic marriage is turned on its head when Chloé falls sick with a water
lily growing in her lung. To pay for her medical bills in this fantasy version
of Paris, Colin must go out to work in a series of increasingly absurd jobs,
while around them, their apartment disintegrates and their friends, including
the talented Nicolas, and Chick – a huge fan of the philosopher Jean-Sol Partre
– go to pieces.
