Mois du film docu - Evy & moi

Directed and written by Hélène Bares. France 2024.

It’s the end of summer, and Hélène, a woman in her thirties who recently broke up with a complicated partner, leaves Paris to seek refuge at her cousin Evelyne’s—also known as Evy—home in Annemasse. This vivacious woman in her sixties, who lost her sight later in life, lives in an apartment overrun with cockroaches and bedbugs.
Between confessions and fits of laughter, the two women—who seem to have nothing in common—eventually leave the apartment and take a vacation on the shores of Lake Geneva. With no money or car, but determined to enjoy life, they set off on an adventure along paths that will lead them to make unlikely encounters and consider a fresh start.
