Official synopsis

Behind the walls of a motorhome, cousins play "Truth or Dare". Alcohol loosens the tongues and childish play soon gives way to discomfort. By favoring improvisation, Lola Cambourieu and Yann Berlier (“Automne malade”, which was screened at the FIFIB in 2019) deploy a personal and radical aesthetic. A gesture of raw and uncompromising cinema that gives birth to emotion through tension.
