L'arbre à clous

A tense, intimate drama follows a weary narrator who returns to a small harbor town after years away, drawn back by a fragile promise and a lingering memory. The story unfolds through quiet, precise exchanges with family, neighbors, and old friends, each revealing the weight of unspoken regrets and the cost of staying or leaving. As a sudden event unsettles the surface of everyday life, characters confront the boundaries between duty and desire, truth and silence. The film builds a moody, lyrical atmosphere, where small acts and ordinary landscapes become conduits for longing, reconciliation, and the search for belonging.
