An unusual, maybe odd, lovely little film with three girls and a black man who some meet and even more. Emilie is played by Lucie Zhang and works as a telephone salesperson, she's bored and wants some more money by getting a woman roommate. She is Taiwanese and her grandmother has Alzheimer's, unhappy about that as well and then a man turns up for her room. This is Camille (Makita Samba who has done a couple of films and some TV) and she does take him in anyway for a room and she thinks him maybe a lover. Camille is a teacher but ends up doing Real Estate, but he is good-looking and charming. Nora played by Noemie Merlant who has several films as well as Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) and she is thirtyish woman who really is an Estate Agent but wants to back to college instead. The well known actress, Jenny Beth, known from Ex Machina (2014) and Anatomy of a Fall (2023) plays Amber Sweet as a porn star online who becomes confused with Nora, and in the end she gets to chat with her. It is really interesting and things are not the way they might have turned out but certainly a terrific and brilliant film.
